galoisehello peoples! iḿ configuring a new system here, and iḿ apalled to discover that the icedtea plugin depends on half of gnome! is there a less gtk'ed alternative for kde users that iḿ missing?06:13
valoriewhat does icetea do?06:14
valorieand plugin for what?06:15
galoiseoh. pardon. icedtea-7-plugin06:15
galoiseis needed, i understand, to get java in chrome and stuff?06:16
valorieah06:16
valoriehmmm06:16
galoisemmm, now that you mention it, maybe i'm too old to realize that it is not needed anymore :S06:16
valoriechrome/chromium aren't KDE at all06:16
valorienor unity, for that matter.....06:17
galoisewell, i tried to get rekonq to install a plugin for me, but it silently didn't run it06:17
galoisenevermind, maybe the idea that it is required is some kinda of flash from the 90's :S06:17
galoisei only really use it for one site, and there seems to be a native alternative...06:17
valoriecool06:18
* valorie uses chromium, and has no such plugin06:18
galoisehey, it used to be all the rage in the pre-flash era... :P06:22

ovidiu-florinHello world. Do you know why I like Kubuntu 13.04? Because I was born in 13th of april :P08:46
valorienice!08:46
smartboyhwovidiu-florin, :O08:47
smartboyhwBut, 13.04 wasn't released AT 13th April08:47
smartboyhwAnd as far as I can tell, 13.04 is unlucky (first number in Western terms, second number in Chinese terms)08:47
smartboyhw:P08:47
ovidiu-florinit's the name 13.04 I was born in 13.04 (european format)08:47
smartboyhwovidiu-florin, 13.04 was released on 28th April I think, to cheer you up:P08:48
smartboyhw!13.0408:48
ubottuUbuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ - Release notes: http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/13.0408:48
ovidiu-florinOn the 13.04 instaler, the progressbar color does not work with the rest of the theme08:50
valorieI like it because it gives me very little trouble08:50
ovidiu-florinit should really be changed08:50
valorieI agree08:50
valorieI think apachelogger is dealing with that08:50
valoriewell, for 13.1008:51
valorieyou could file a bug for 13.04, but unknown if there is interest in fixing it at this date08:51
apacheloggerwouldn't get fixed08:51
ovidiu-florinwhy not?08:52
valoriethis isn't an LTS, ovidiu-florin08:53
=== jbracker is now known as Guest6670

ovidiu-florinso no fix, ever? at least a fix for 13.0108:53
ovidiu-florin13.10*08:53
valorielike I said, apachelogger is looking at that08:54
ovidiu-florinoh, ok08:54

smartboyhwovidiu-florin, a fix for 13.1008:54
smartboyhwNo fix for 13.04, sorry08:54
ovidiu-florinit's ok08:54
valoriewe can always use more folks helping out!08:56
ovidiu-florinIs there a script or a program or a way to make my own custom iso of kubuntu, or any other way I can change the default settings on Kubuntu? so that when I install it I wouldn't have to fiddle with it for about an hour to customise it?08:56

BluesKajHowdy folks10:33
izanagi_hi10:36
Tm_Tizanagi_: to force disk check on next boot, you can do the following command: "sudo touch /forcefsck" that creates forcefsck file which is read on boot10:36
ovidiu-florindoes kubuntu use systemd ?10:37
izanagi_just that?10:37
ovidiu-florinthe latest, I mean10:37
Tm_Tizanagi_: yes, just that10:38
Tm_Tizanagi_: and on next boot, the check is forced10:38
izanagi_Tm_T: thanks10:38
Tm_Tizanagi_: no systemd at all AFAIK10:38
ovidiu-florinTm_T: get some coffe10:39
izanagi_this file is deleted after boot, or i have to do it manually?10:39
ovidiu-florinizanagi_: do a ls -lah / after first boot10:39
BluesKajovidiu-florin, there are some parts of sytemd being used in 13.10 afaik10:40
izanagi_what -lah do?10:40
ovidiu-florinactually -lah is not necessary10:40
ovidiu-florinBluesKaj: "some" parts?10:41
ovidiu-florinhow do you implement systemd partially?10:41
BluesKajyeah , I've heard it being discussed , but I don't know the details10:41
ovidiu-florinI have systemd in arch and ... OMG you should see it boot and shutdown10:42
ovidiu-florinblink and you'll miss it10:42
BluesKajovidiu-florin, good question , maybe you could ask in #kubuntu-devel10:42
Tm_Tizanagi_: yes the file is empty file and it will be gone after check10:42
Tm_Tovidiu-florin: coffee is good suggestion (;10:43

somekoolok12:12
somekoolI was simply wondering if it was a common recent issue that other kubuntu users are experiencing..12:12
BluesKajsomekool, some have complained about your issue , but we haven't seen a fix yet 12:13
izanagii had this problem. The last resort is to delete .kde folder12:13
BluesKajdon't think that works in this case 12:14
monkeyjuiceis this 13.04 somekool12:14
somekoolyes 13.0412:14
monkeyjuicethere is an old bug report a few months back like this  12:16
BluesKajsomekool, did you just upgrade KDE ?12:16
somekoolI'mpretty sure I rebooted since I have12:17
somekoolI was running 4.10.97 before12:17
BluesKajcan't hurt to reboot , to make sure12:20
izanagibtw, i have problem with wifi card. I cant turn it off(led on netbook is on). It was working in older *ubuntu. There is nothing in google, everyone have problems with turning wifi on, not off :)12:20
somekoolyep I'll do that. and troubleshoot more if it happens again12:26
izanagido you know how can i fast format usb drive?12:42
izanagibecause i cant delete files, it says that trash is full, but it is not12:47
izanagiok, used rm12:48
BluesKajizanagi, i use the the partition editor in kmenu>system to format USB sticks , NTFS seems to work best12:55
izanagii dont works for me. Unounted drive, selected format, received errors. Nevermind, used just rm to remove all files, it is enough12:56
BluesKajizanagi, just choose new , then format apply12:58

lordievaderHey Galaga 16:11
lordievaderHow are you?16:11
GalagaHi, pretty good.16:12
GalagaKubuntu is kicking my ass.16:12
Galaga12.04 install give me nvidia driver problems and 13.4 install boots to a black screen.16:13
lordievaderGalaga: Could you still get into a tty in the 13.04 install?16:13
GalagaNo, it boots for about 5 min. and all I get is a black screen16:14
lordievaderGalaga: In the 12.04 install what drivers did the jockey offer?16:16

littlegirl[sigh]19:34
shadeslayerlittlegirl: ssup19:35
shadeslayernot a expert, might be able to help19:35
shadeslayerlittlegirl: just highlight with the question19:36
littlegirlshadeslayer: Thanks! I'm writing a guide page for Kubuntu and it's about static IPs. I'd like it to be accurate, and I can't find this information with an ordinary Google search (yet). Can more than one class of network coexist on a LAN, and would it be a bad or good idea to do so if it is possible?19:37
shadeslayer'class of network' ?19:37
shadeslayerlittlegirl: ^^19:39
littlegirlshadeslayer: Look in section 3 of http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1918 or do a search for "class" on that page.19:40
shadeslayeraha that19:40
shadeslayerI don't see why not19:40
littlegirlshadeslayer: Basically, what I'm trying to find out is whether it's possible to have an IP that begins with 10 and another that begins with 192 within the same LAN, and whether that's something anyone even would do and whether it would be a bad idea to even contemplate it. (:19:40
shadeslayerYou could have something like : class A network which has a router that connects to another router that might assign class C IP addresses19:41
shadeslayerthen the routers just do NAT translations at the router level to forward and recieve packets19:41
littlegirlshadeslayer: Would it have to be on another router, or could one router handle both?19:41
shadeslayerAFAIK 2 routers19:42
shadeslayerI don't think you can assign a Class A ip address and Class C IP address via the same router19:42
shadeslayer^^ atleast on consumer grade routers19:42
littlegirlThat's the million dollar question, and so far Google hasn't answered it. Since it's a Kubuntu guide I'm writing, I figured I'd ask in here. (:19:42
shadeslayerAFAIK can't be done19:43
shadeslayeryofel: ^^ do you think this can be done? ( Class A and Class C IP addresses assigned by the same router )19:43
littlegirlThanks. I'll keep hunting, though, until I can find out definitively. (:19:44
* yofel reads19:44
littlegirlI'll try ##networking again to see if I got any nibbles if it's a stumper for yofel. (:19:44
yofeluhm, just to be accurate, a router never *assignes* IP's, it's the DHCP server that does that, and I don't know enough about DHCP server configuration there.19:48
yofelThe general rule is that networks may NEVER overlap, so 192.168.0.0/16 and 192.168.1.0/24 in the same network will NOT work, on the other hand 172.16.0.0/16 and 172.18.0.0/16 will be fine19:48
yofelthe first example would require a NAT19:48
yofel*require NAT19:48
yofellittlegirl: and to talk about classful network, 172.16.0.0/16 + 192.168.1.0/24 in the same physical network is fine19:49
littlegirlyofel: Thanks! This is for a guide on assigning static IPs, and although I'm not going to recommend or figure out how it would be done, I like to mention that something can be done if it can, so it's good to know. (:19:51
* littlegirl is of the opinion that there are far too many Ubuntu guides and not nearly enough Kubuntu guides out and about on the internet, and hopes to correct that.19:52
BluesKajlittlegirl, well google is to blame for a lot of that , they just assume kubuntu and ubuntu searches will give results that can be applied to both 20:00
littlegirlBluesKaj: Yep. Hopefully some of my stuff will avoid that. (:20:06
BluesKajlittlegirl, fortunately network settings without network manager can be setup the same on both kubuntu and ubuntu 20:08
BluesKajok , more stuff to do ...BBL20:10
littlegirlBluesKaj: Yeah, I just like to have Kubuntu mentioned in the page so that Google searches turn it up specifically, and I make my commands Kubuntu-specific (kdesudo instead of gksudo, etc.).20:10
littlegirlOK20:10
