psinghDoes anyone have tips to make kde-telepathy work with google-talk audio calls?03:21
valoriepsingh: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/KDE-Telepathy-0-4-supports-audio-and-video-calls-1615843.html03:44
psinghThx!03:44
valorieshould be supported for quite awhile now....03:44
psinghvalorie, my input channel stream shows blank in k-mixer when I use kde-telepathy.  I have a usb video cam, and am using the mic for google-tak audio calls.  It works spradically.  Otherwise the mic works fine in other applications.  Any thoughts?03:47
valoriedo you have pavucontrol installed?03:49
valorieI would use that rather than kmix03:49
valoriekmix seems to lose control to alsa and/or pulseaudio03:49
valorielately03:49
valorielike: useless03:49
psinghI had installed paman which helps you set Pulse Audio channels.  Is pavucontrol for Phonon or Pulseaudio?03:50
valoriePA03:51
valorieyou don't need to control phonon03:51
valorieit just does its job quietly03:51
psinghI thought KDE only used Phonon?  Hummm.  I C.03:51
valoriepaman is fine, I guess03:51
valorieI've not used it03:51
valoriepsingh: different layers03:51
psinghAnd kde-telepathy relies on Pule Audio?03:52
psinghioc03:52
valoriethink of linux sound like a crazy layer cake03:52
psinghLet me try pavucontrol03:52
valorieconfusing but delicious03:52
psinghHa Ha. Thanks for this info.  I'm coming back to KDE after some years, and it lfeels like a "ghost town" finding current info  on line, so I reall appreciater this tip.03:53
valoriegoogle is your buddy03:54
valoriereally, there is lots of good info, especially at userbase03:54
valoriethat's http://userbase.kde.org03:54
psinghGoogle has bee no buddy of mine lately!  I'll keep digging; I'm sure part of it is me havin to learn twhat search terms to use.03:55

Roeyhey all06:55
Roeygot a question about cloning an HD -> bigger SSD:  I have a 100 MB /boot on my HD that I want to merge with /, and copy it over to the SSD... how can I do this without pain?06:56
Roeythat is to say, I do not want to have a separate /boot partiiton on the SSD.06:56
claycornhello?06:58
Roeyhihi06:58
claycorni cant change my wallpaper06:58
claycorni think kde is broke06:59
claycornany help would be nice06:59
valoriewhat happens when you right-click on the desktop?07:01
claycornnothing07:01
valoriewow07:01
valoriecan you access systemsettings from alt+f2 or kickoff?07:02
claycornwait a sec07:02
claycornnope07:03
claycorni dint know bout kickoff07:03
valoriekickoff is the 'real' name for the kmenu07:03
valoriesome people use an alternate launcher though07:03
claycornoh i have the launcher like the start in windows07:04
valorieanyway, it's a bit extreme, but you might have to log out, go to a console, and rename your .kde folder07:04
valorieright, that's called kickoff07:04
valoriedon't misunderstand: do NOT delete your .kde folder07:05
claycornok07:05
valoriejust move it/rename it07:05
valorieyou'll have to do that while logged out07:05
claycornhow do i do that?07:05
valoriewhen you log back in, you can move back in the stuff you like07:05
valoriedo you know how to get to a console?07:05
claycornum no07:05
valoriecontrol+alt+f207:06
claycornohh ok i knew that07:06
valorieok07:06
claycornwhat then?07:06
valorieand do you know how to get back?07:07
valoriesome people panic07:07
claycornnope07:07
Roeyhello valorie07:07
valoriecontrol+alt+f6 or 7 or 807:07
Roeyvalorie!07:07
Roeyhey07:07
claycornoks07:07
valoriejust try some till you get back to a gui07:07
valorieyou can even practice that part now07:07
valorieBUT you will have to log out for the .kde renaming to work, ok?07:08
valoriehi Roey07:08
claycornwhen i get to the console what do i do?07:08
valorieso, to rename it, you'll have to log in as you07:08
RoeyVal, question about best practices here... I have HDs that I want to clone to an SDD07:08
claycornok let me try it brb07:08
valoriethen: mv ~/.kde ~/.kde-old07:08
Roeyvalorie:  on my HD, there is a 100-MB /boot partition that I want to fold into the / on the SSD07:09
Roeyvalorie:  I don't know the order of operations to perform though.07:09
valorieRoey: beyond my expertise07:09
Roeyah07:09
Roeygotcha07:09
valorieI would google a bit before trying that07:09
claycornwhen i get back on terminal?07:09
valoriethe thing is, your boot partition is marked in the partition tables07:09
valorieit isn't just about moving stuff07:09
valorieclaycorn: did you see what I wrote for you?07:10
valorieyou might want to write it on some paper07:10
valoriethen: mv ~/.kde ~/.kde-old07:10
claycorni copied it07:10
valorieok07:10
claycornbrb07:10
valorieso log out -- you'll miss us for awhile07:10

Roeyahhhh07:11
Roeywhat's that?07:11

simion314hi all, it sucks this KDE vs Mir thing, If i have to chose betwen KDE and ubuntu I think I will run ubuntu with my favorite apps10:02
tsimpson_simion314: don't listen to FUD10:06
simion314tsimpson_: yes, i hope technical things will win, and I think Mir will be more stable and polish then wayland for some time10:07
lordievaderGood afternoon.10:37
BluesKajHi all10:44
Walexsimion314: on the Mir/Wayland story, most people miss the #1 point.12:50
simion314Walex: what is that? that Mir will be on our computers this year?12:51
Walexsimion314: noooooo, nothing as complicated as that.12:51
Walexsimion314: it is that Mir is designed to use Android binary GPU drivers. That is incredibly important.12:51
Walexsimion314: I hope everybody has alredy figured out that the Ubuntu strategy is 80-90% tablet/phone and 10-20% desktop and server.12:52
WalexMir being binary compatible with Android GPU drivers is an enormous advantage over Wayland for tablet/phone use, and perhaps in general/12:53
simion314Walex: I know, also Red hat(that is behind Wayland) has no financial intrest to put too much effort into desktop stuff12:54
OerHeksClever thinking of Mark12:54
Walexso the technical merits of Mir/Wayland/X11 are really a secondayr issue, as long as each more or less works to some extent. Mir could even be rather worse than Wayland or X. but will still probably win because of that binary compatibility.12:56
BluesKajwe can tell where he's headed , to make money , so this open software philosphy is eventually going away in favour of enterprise. Capitalism is great for him , but what about the rest of us? ..I don't plan on doing my computing on a 5" screen12:57
apachelogger#kubuntu-offtopic pleaese12:58
simion314BluesKaj: I do not think Mark wants to make money for himself he has enough, he wants money for Canonical to invest in development12:59
Walexthe irony in the Kubuntu decision of not supporting Mir is that Plasma Live is so good on tablet/phone, and Mir is going to be pretty good for that.12:59
BluesKajIdidn't say it was for himself , of course he wants to expand his company and increasiing revenue is the obvious choice13:00
BluesKajok , let's take this to offtopic13:01

tester56i have both, qt4 and qt5 installed, but for any reason qt5 is default, but i want qt4 to be default ...14:24
tester56how to change this?14:24
lorddeltaUm, where is plasmoidviewer?14:24
lorddeltaI'm supposed to be able to get it by installing kde-workspace-bin14:25
lorddelta...but its not in that package....14:25
tester56lorddelta: install plasmate14:25
lorddeltaSo where did it disappear off to, or did it get replaced by something else?14:25
tester56lorddelta: that's a known issue, packagers are aware14:25
lorddeltatester56: thanks, is that documented somewhere? I'm still just working my way around the plasma docs myself.14:27
tester56you mean the issue that kde-workspace-bin is suggested instead?14:27
tester56lorddelta: plasmoidviewer moved to package plasmate ... that's a packaging issue ...14:29
KetrelIn a default kubuntu install 13.04, where would I control what services/daemons start automatically at boot?14:30
tester56services of what stage? you mean services that require x or services that are started by rc.local?14:31
lorddeltatester56: sure, but does anyone other than you know this? Its great the package maintainers are aware, I was not.14:31
BluesKajsystem settings>stsrtup&shutdown>system services14:31
BluesKajKetrel,^14:32
tester56was just about to write it :D14:32
KetrelI'm talking about RC services.  (Prior to X)14:32
Ketreldoes what BluesKaj still apply?14:32
tester56lorddelta: shadeslayer is aware ...14:32
lorddeltatester56, assuming that was directed at me, ok, I suppose...14:33
tester56lorddelta: no ... to BluesKaj14:33
Ketreloops, left out a word, does what BluesKaj *said* still apply?14:34
tester56Ketrel, not for the services you want to configure (prior to X)14:35
lorddeltatester56: not that you are aware but your '...' responses imply that a) you think I am stupid b) there was some obvious way I should have known this...not saying you are actually implying either thing mind, only that your language suggests as much. Your responses would indicate nevertheless that I would have some way of knowing this other than asking in here :P14:35
Ketreltester56: in that case where would those be editable.  (I just want to stop a few from starting without having to remove the actual programs)14:36
tester56Ketrel, blacklist them ... could you name the service you want to stop?14:37
Ketreltester56: I don't think that's what I am talking about.  I remember there's some way to edit which ones run at each RC level.14:39
KetrelDoes kubunutu still use the default directories for that, or has it changed to another system?14:40
BluesKajKetrel, besisdes the services in sys settings check the session management option >applications to be excluded... . add the apps there to stop them from loading at startup14:41
KetrelBluesKaj: I'm not talking about KDE services and applications.  I'm talking about daemons which are starting prior to X.14:42
BluesKajwhich daemons?14:43
tester56Ketrel, could be that there is a graphical application to adjust this ... but none I am aware of14:43
Ketreltester56: I don't need a graphical one, I'm mainly trying to find out if kubnutu still uses the standard RC system.  I know it uses a lot of non-standard replacements, such as kickstart for services.14:44
Ketrelor is it upstart, I forget the name14:44
BluesKajupstart yeah14:45
KetrelBut yeah, did this replace runlevels as well or is that still standard?  If it's still using the standard runlevels and init symlinks, I know what to do already.14:45
BluesKajupdate-rc.d still work s , if that means anything14:47
KetrelBluesKaj: yep, if that works I'm gold.14:50
KetrelMain thing I wanted was to install WICD so I can easily manage my network connections in the event of X failing without having to resort to too much use of wpa_supplicant manually)14:51
BluesKajrun it and see14:51
KetrelBut I did not want wicd to start automatically as a service14:51
BluesKajKetrel, which wifi chip?14:52
KetrelBluesKaj: sadly broadcom, it works from KDE, but when I use wpa_suppplicant I can't seem to make it work14:53
WalexKetrel: 'wpa_gui' is not too bad...14:53
BluesKajKetrel, most BCMs don't need wpa_suplicant afaik14:53
KetrelBluesKaj: wouldn't it need it for wpa2 protected wifi?14:55
KetrelWalex: wpa_gui isn't an option if I'm not in X.14:55
