[01:46] <luxbox> hi
[01:46] <luxbox> why my computer crashes too often ?
[01:46] <luxbox> why my kubuntu crashes too often ?
[01:46] <luxbox> plz
[02:45] <shepherd> Hi, 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 :p
[03:09] <manchicken> shepherd: what do you mean? Are you talking about the regular lock screen?
[03:12] <shepherd> Yes manchicken
[03:12] <shepherd> It always says incorrect password.
[03:13] <manchicken> Are you using just the default authentication?
[03:13] <manchicken> Have you tried changing your password yet?
[03:13] <shepherd> I believe so..
[03:13] <manchicken> (I say this assuming you have tried both of these)
[03:14] <manchicken> And it's not the keyring, right?
[03:14] <manchicken> There 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.
[03:16] <shepherd> It's not the keyring password, it is just the password which I use to login. I have changed it before. But the same affect remains
[03:18] <manchicken> That's very odd... not a networked login server or SAMBA domain controller authentication, right?
[03:19] <manchicken> Also, can you log in via the virtual terminal?
[03:19] <shepherd> Yes, 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.
[03:36] <lorddelta> >_>
[03:37] <lorddelta> I'm sorry manchicken but the fact you are talking to sheperd...too hilarious XD
[03:37] <manchicken> lorddelta: ... is it because my name has the word "chicken" in it?
[03:37] <lorddelta> what do you think?
[03:37] <manchicken> I think you've been drinking :)
[03:38] <manchicken> Shepherds deal with sheep. You've got the wrong delicious meat in mind my friend :)
[03:38] <lorddelta> heh well we are all entitled to our opinions I suppose.
[03:38] <manchicken> Sheep do not taste like chicken if you cook it properly.
[03:38]  * manchicken wishes he'd been drinking...
[03:38] <lorddelta> A shepherd and his flock of manchicken...guy waving a staff around at a peturbed bunch of chickens
[03:46] <manchicken> I'm not peturbed... am I?
[10:36] <AshishL> i have just downloaded kubuntu torrent amd 64 iso  and dont know what to do next .
[10:37] <smartboyhw> AshishL, wait, you downloaded the iso or you downloaded the .torrent file?
[10:37] <smartboyhw> That makes a difference:)
[10:37] <AshishL> smartboyhw:the torrent file
[10:38] <smartboyhw> AshishL, use a torrent client to open the file and it will download the ISO for you.
[10:38] <smartboyhw> !torrent | AshishL
[10:39] <AshishL> ubottu:is bit torrent one of em ?
[10:39] <smartboyhw> AshishL, yes:)
[10:39] <smartboyhw> ^ there is bittorrent in the !torrent factoid.
[10:40] <AshishL> smartboyhw: after ive downloaded the iso, then what to do ?
[10:40] <smartboyhw> AshishL, burn it into a DVD or USB, then install!
[10:40] <AshishL> ok thanks !!
[12:05] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:53] <yossarianuk> interesting - xfce, gnome3 and lxde are now running in Mir.
[13:22] <izanagi> white screen of death, bleh, have to reconfigure plasma
[13:54] <HansImGlueck> Hello
[13:55] <HansImGlueck> Does anyone know how to contribute an open source project to the community ?
[13:55] <HansImGlueck> I am kind of new to this
[13:58] <BluesKaj> HansImGlueck, you could ask in #kubuntu-devel if it's kubuntu specific , if not they may be able to direct you to the proper place.
[14:00] <BlaXpirit> yossarianuk, you're wrong.
[14:00] <HansImGlueck> Well ok #agreed I will do so :)
[14:00] <BluesKaj> BlaXpirit, nice
[14:01] <BlaXpirit> huh
[14:02] <BluesKaj> confrontational ,  BlaXpirit , is that necessary , justtell him it's not the case , no need to make personal
[14:02] <BlaXpirit> if someone reads Phoronix, which is full of unsupported claims, and also freely interprets what is written there,  they are bound to be wrong
[14:04] <BluesKaj> unsupported claims , so it's a mistake, it's not the end of ubuntu
[14:09] <yossarianuk> BlaXpirit: remember which site said steam was coming gto Linux first....
[14:09] <BlaXpirit> the site is fine, but you missed a letter X in from that title
[14:11] <yossarianuk> and actually it was here - http://test.ubuntu-discourse.org/t/non-unity-desktops-now-running-on-xmir/479/6
[14:11] <yossarianuk> (from /r/linux)
[14:11] <BlaXpirit> XMir, see
[14:12] <yossarianuk> ah i see
[14:12] <yossarianuk> would be not as efficent..
[14:13] <yossarianuk> no be honest until weyland or mir have Nvidia support I won;t be using them as my main system
[14:15] <shadeslayer> FWIW Neither KDE nor Kubuntu is interested in supporting XMir
[14:16] <BluesKaj> shadeslayer, is wayland still on the kubuntu horizon?>
[14:17] <shadeslayer> we will go with whatever upstream supports
[14:19] <shadeslayer> at the moment that seems to be wayland
[14:19] <izanagi> hello
[14:19] <izanagi> can i ask a question?
[14:19] <shadeslayer> sure
[14:20] <izanagi> i configured plasma, added widgets etc, but when i reboot, i can only see white screen
[14:20] <izanagi> right click dont work
[14:21] <shadeslayer> 0.o
[14:21] <izanagi> i tried to delete config file .kde/share/config/plasma-netbookappsrc
[14:22] <izanagi> work fine for one reboot
[14:22] <izanagi> next time its white again
[14:22] <mapyth_> hello everyone. I need a way as to how to calculate the memory used by a c++ program, during runtime.
[14:22] <mapyth_> I know it has to use acct application
[14:23] <mapyth_> but am stuck as to using it
[14:23] <mapyth_> can someone help ?
[14:23] <BlaXpirit> ummm Ctrl+Esc  :p
[14:23] <izanagi> what can i do about white screen? :C
[14:24] <BlaXpirit> reinstall :|
[14:24] <izanagi> i just installed kubuntu
[14:24] <izanagi> im sick of it
[14:24] <BlaXpirit> :(
[14:24] <izanagi> sick of installing twice a day
[14:25] <izanagi> drivers, hdmi, panels, plasma - one thing is broken per install
[14:25] <izanagi> back to windows?
[14:25] <izanagi> argh
[14:26] <BluesKaj> izanagi, which graphics ?
[14:27] <izanagi> amd, but drivers are not problem now. I have white desktop screen and i cant right click to use settings
[14:27] <BlaXpirit> Alt+F2?
[14:27] <yossarianuk> izanagi: do you have dual monitors?
[14:27] <izanagi> alt-f2 dont work
[14:27] <izanagi> 1 monitor
[14:28] <yossarianuk> possibly clear your .kde directory and restart X
[14:28] <izanagi> whole .kde?
[14:28] <yossarianuk> then turn off desktop effects
[14:28] <BluesKaj> izanagi, ctrl+alt+F1 to F6  will give you TTY , then you can try to startx
[14:28] <yossarianuk> it will reset kde to default
[14:29] <izanagi> i will try to clear .kde
[14:30] <izanagi> brb
[14:31] <skaet> Riddell,  do you want Kubuntu active in the alpha 1?   Any hardware platforms you definitely are NOT going to be testing?
[14:32] <skaet> Riddell,  sorry wrong channel.  moving this to correct one.
[14:56] <izanagi> cleared the .kde
[14:56] <izanagi> lost all setting, but it works
[14:56] <izanagi> ty for help
[14:57] <izanagi> i will set everything again and make a copy of .kde
[14:57] <izanagi> for next time
[14:58] <izanagi> but i still dont get it, why ALT+F2 dont work
[14:59] <izanagi> on usblive it was working good
[15:36] <lordievader> Good afternoon.

[16:49] <luxbox> hello
[16:49] <luxbox> why my kubuntu crashes too often ? plz
[16:52] <BluesKaj_> luxbox, how often ? and have you updated and upgraded lately?
[16:52] <genii> luxbox: Also, a better description from you of what exactly happens with your Kubuntu might help us understand what is going on with it
[16:55] <luxbox> yes I updated, all windows suddenly blocks, only the mouse moves
[16:56] <luxbox> it is very frequent and I have to reboot several times
[16:58] <luxbox> genii: especially when there are several programs that must process
[16:59] <luxbox> genii: I've 4Go ram
[17:01] <luxbox> genii: but while installing of kubuntu, I did not create a swap, maybe the issue ?
[17:02] <genii> luxbox: 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?
[17:06] <luxbox> genii: no, later
[17:08] <genii> luxbox: Well, might be the swap in this case then. Do you have a partition you could use for it?
[17:10] <luxbox> genii: no, no partition available
[17:12] <BluesKaj_> will a swapfile work in this case , genii ?
[17:13] <genii> luxbox: You can do it an alternate way, which is to make your swap a file instead of a partition.
[17:13] <genii> BluesKaj_: Yes :)
[17:13] <BluesKaj_> luxbox, you can make swap file without needing a swap partition , http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/
[17:13] <genii> Sorry on lag, work is pulling me from computer
[17:21] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[17:31] <AshishL>  i was installing the kubuntu iso and suddenly while downloading the iso, it shows permision is denied. please help.
[17:37] <genii> AshishL: Which kubuntu version were you downloading?
[17:40]  * genii guesses 13.10
[17:44] <kaddi> i like the new kubuntu :)
[17:45] <lordievader> kaddi: :)
[17:49] <jessie> Is there some way to have KMail reply instead of reply all when doing a mailing list email?
[17:49] <jessie> Even if I say "reply all"?
[17:55] <izanagi> i hate amd
[17:55] <izanagi> and their drivers for linux
[17:56] <izanagi> after install hlike helldmi and backlight is buggy
[17:56] <izanagi> hdmi*
[18:02] <keithzg> What the . . . Muon keeps informing me "This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided"...even when I run it with kdesudo!
[18:02] <keithzg> apt-get still works though, naturally.
[18:02] <izanagi> use only sudo
[18:02] <izanagi> or sudo su
[18:02] <keithzg> ...on a GUI app? You mad bro?
[18:02] <genii> izanagi: No, neither of those are recommended
[18:03] <genii> keithzg: Is this on 13.10 ?
[18:03] <izanagi> why not recommended?
[18:03] <keithzg> genii: Yeah
[18:03] <genii> keithzg: They probably know in #buntu+1
[18:03] <keithzg> izanagi: if you run an app like that with sudo, you risk changing ownership of your own files to root...
[18:04] <keithzg> genii: wait, sorry, I'm dumb. Too long on 12.10. Naw, I'm running 13.04.
[18:08] <genii> !kdesudo | izanagi
[18:12] <genii> keithzg: Do you have polkit-kde-1 installed?
[18:12] <keithzg> genii: Yup.
[18:14] <genii> Hm.
[18:15] <genii> keithzg: Have you had a power off / power on cycle since last updates ? ( not a reboot but all the way off with the power )
[18:15] <genii> Work, away a bit
[18:17] <keithzg> genii: Nope, and I was just about to say, this is my work machine and it's not even been so much as logged out in about 11 days, heh. 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).
[19:05] <natman_> how do i change from the grey color on the windows on kubuntu 1304?
[19:20] <Guest76530> hi
[19:21] <lordievader> Hey Guest76530
[19:30] <mokush> can you guys use facebook with kde-telepathy? I'm getting a network error, and can't log-in, on a clean install of 13.04
[19:42] <soee> if im using live cd, how can i get access to local installation so i can do some fixes
[19:45] <genii> soee: If you just need to edit some config files, just mount the hd partition someplace like /mnt ... if you need to do something more like apt-get commands then you need to bindmount some directories into somewhere and then chroot there
[19:45] <soee> genii, i need to install there some packages
[19:48] <natman_> how do i change from the grey color on the windows on kubuntu 1304?
[19:53] <gits1225> You'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/
[19:54] <gits1225> aah, forgot to break the sentence ...
[19:55] <natman_> gits1225:  but what theme, desktop theme, window dec, either dont do anything
[19:55] <natman_> in terms of changing the grey color
[19:56] <genii> soee: 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 chroot
[19:56] <genii> soee: When done, use: exit
[19:57] <gits1225> natman_: hmm, isn't it under Workspace appearance -> Window Decorations -> Get new themes?
[19:57] <gits1225> Get new decorations*
[20:05] <natman_> gits1225: yes, but no matter what i get, every window is the same, all that changes is the title bar
[20:07] <gits1225> hmm, even after changing the desktop theme natman_?
[20:08] <yofel> changing the color theme of the whole window contents is under application appearance -> colors
[20:10] <natman_> yofel: wheres that option?
[20:10] <natman_> yofel:  got it!
[20:28] <TheQuietShadow_T> Hello?
[20:30] <genii> TheQuietShadow_T: If you have some Kubuntu related question, just to state it in the channel and perhaps someone will take up an answer. For non support-related chat, there is #kubuntu-offtopic
[20:34] <Guest25435> Does anyone have any issues getting flash to work within Firefox?
[20:34] <genii> Taylz: How did you install it?
[20:35] <Taylz> genii: I haven't yet. I've tried searching for it through Firefox itself (came up with the additional addons message). Not sure how to do it via the terminal (if you can, that is).
[20:36] <genii> Taylz: If you install the package kubuntu-restricted-extras  ...it should be part of that, along with some codecs and fonts, etc
[20:37] <genii> !info kubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:37] <genii> Make sure multiverse repository is enabled, etc
[20:44] <Taylz> Many thanks genii!
[20:46] <genii> Taylz: You're welcome
[20:55] <M_BlX> Hi
[21:02] <soee> after login 2 instances of dolphin are automaticaly loaded
[21:03] <soee> any idea where i can check what is autoloaded after login ?
[21:04] <M_BlX> K => system config => system admin => start & stop => autostart
[21:04] <M_BlX> may not be the exact aliases, i'm running a non english system
[21:10] <soee> M_BlX, thank you
[21:11] <soee> sadly there is no dolphin set, maybe some problem with session
[21:29] <puff> I was in emacs, I hit some wrong hotkey and now the emacs window has disappeared;  ps still shows the process there.
[21:32] <gits1225> maybe you hit Ctrl-Z to background a running application in a terminal?
[21:32] <gits1225> an fg will restore it back
[21:32] <gits1225> puff
[21:36] <puff> gits1225: No, I was actually in the emacs x-windows GUI and hit some hot key.
[21:36] <puff> gits1225: The emacs process isn't showing up in the alt-tab cycle.
[21:40] <puff> I used to have a task bar application switcher menu, but I can't find it in the task bar, even though I've re-added the widget. Hm.
[21:40] <puff> Ah, figured otu the emacs mystery... I accidentally opened a jpeg in a buffer, which displayed it as an image, which made the window not look like emacs...
[21:40] <gits1225> ...
[21:41] <gits1225> I was going through the KWin shortcuts to see whether there is anything to "hide" a running app
[21:41] <puff> I still wish I could figure out what happened to the application switcher widget.
[21:41] <gits1225> heh
[21:41] <Whiskey`Wonka> hmm, something has gone wrong with a update on the other laptop. when kde starts its just at the gear and the dots are moving. its been that way for over a hour (i was away)
[21:42] <Whiskey`Wonka> any ideas where to start looking for issues?
[21:45] <genii> Whiskey`Wonka: Is the hd light going a lot?
[21:45] <Whiskey`Wonka> no
[21:46] <puff> Hm, dunno KDE that well, but can you switch to a virtual terminal and see if there's a console log or something?
[21:46] <genii> Whiskey`Wonka: When's the last time it did fsck on bootup?
[21:47] <Whiskey`Wonka> puff: yea terminal works fine
[21:47] <Whiskey`Wonka> justn ot sure what to go look at, X? kde? something else
[21:47] <puff> e.g. ctrl-alt-f1
[21:47] <Whiskey`Wonka> genii: a couple days ago i hit the 20 somehing boot
[21:47] <puff> Whiskey`Wonka: Well, on some machines the console terminal (usually F1) shows console log messages.
[21:48] <Whiskey`Wonka> thats over filled with output from a service i run
[21:48] <genii> Whiskey`Wonka: If you have other partitions, it might be scanning the next one. It staggers the check days so they don't all happen on the same day.
[21:48] <puff> Whiskey`Wonka: Or you could log into a shell and run KDE from there, maybe with a --verbose switch if KDE has one, and watch the output.
[21:49] <Whiskey`Wonka> genii: no other check is going and if it was it wouldnt take all morning
[21:49]  * puff is mainly thinking about times when he's had X or windowmanager problems and had to troubleshoot them.
[21:49] <Whiskey`Wonka> i left at 8am, its 2:50pm now
[21:49] <puff> Whiskey`Wonka: Check dmesg or /var/log/sys.log?
[21:49] <Whiskey`Wonka> hmmm
[21:49] <Whiskey`Wonka> well xorg.0.log says fglrx module not found
[21:50] <Whiskey`Wonka> done have a sys.log
[21:50] <Whiskey`Wonka> dont*
[21:50] <Whiskey`Wonka> syslog however
[21:51] <Whiskey`Wonka> the last 200 lines in syslog are not interesting
[21:52] <Whiskey`Wonka> how to isntall the restricted drivers from aptitude??
[21:55] <Whiskey`Wonka> well that looks like it, one thing said to use the fglrx-glx driver but i didnt find it, only fglrx
[22:12] <Whiskey`Wonka> that did not solve the issue
[22:13] <Whiskey`Wonka> there is no more EE errors listed in xorg. there are II things like 'fglrx output lvds has no monitor section
[22:14] <Whiskey`Wonka> these are interesting,a bunch of  no imput driver specified ignoring this device
[22:15] <Whiskey`Wonka> X looks to be working fine now, so i suspect its a kde issue
[22:16] <Whiskey`Wonka> as root i can startx and have a cursor and a cli
[22:16] <Whiskey`Wonka> hmm same happens as my normal user, it should be set to run k tho
[22:25] <Whiskey`Wonka> well ok after installing kde-workspace-bin i get a login and its laoding but it looks ugly as sin

[23:12] <benbloom> is there a command line way of seeing how long a program has been running (real time not CPU time)?
[23:31] <puff> benbloom: Hm, offhand I'd saay try "ps -f" first, and see if the -f (full listing) includes time started.
[23:56] <izanagi> is there a way to fix ALT-F2? krunner do not appear
[23:59] <dbc254_> did apt-get upgrade and apt-get update and now things are weird
[23:59] <dbc254_> is there a way to undo?
