| kilo_byte | hey.. i have more than 1 desktop enrvironment. how can i uninstall everything other than Kde | 09:26 |
| tsimpson | !purekde | 09:28 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » | 09:28 |
| tsimpson | kilo_byte: try that link | 09:28 |
| kilo_byte | okie | 09:28 |
| kilo_byte | its not just gnome | 09:28 |
| kilo_byte | xfce, lde , unity. | 09:28 |
| kilo_byte | pretty much of everything :P | 09:28 |
| tsimpson | it has instructions for most *-desktop packages | 09:28 |
| tsimpson | ubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, and edubuntu | 09:29 |
| kilo_byte | tsimpson, my system has gone pretty slow too | 09:29 |
| tsimpson | the others shouldn't be hard to remove | 09:29 |
| kilo_byte | is there something I can do about that | 09:29 |
| tsimpson | probably the best thing to try is replacing the HDD | 09:29 |
| kilo_byte | hdd aint that old :D | 09:30 |
| tsimpson | and upgrade RAM if you can, that's always a good way to get a boost | 09:30 |
| kilo_byte | besides its not economical :P | 09:30 |
| tsimpson | HDD's tend to get very inefficient over time | 09:30 |
| kilo_byte | i have 3 gb ram and 500 hdd more than enough for kubuntu i suppose | 09:30 |
| tsimpson | you could possibly do a fresh install, not so bad if you have a separate partition for /home | 09:31 |
| kilo_byte | yep . they do | 09:31 |
| kilo_byte | but its just 2 years ;) | 09:31 |
| kilo_byte | i dont have a seprate one :P | 09:32 |
| kilo_byte | i think i will back up that one | 09:32 |
| tsimpson | !home | 09:32 |
| ubottu | Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 09:32 |
| tsimpson | it's very useful, especially if you ever want to reinstall or completely replace your OS | 09:33 |
| kilo_byte | !bin | 09:33 |
| kilo_byte | i have got windows too :P | 09:33 |
| kilo_byte | which is really a pain | 09:33 |
| kilo_byte | !kubuntu-desktop | 09:34 |
| ubottu | k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. | 09:34 |
| tsimpson | sooner or later you get tired of dual-booting, or you realise that you've been avoiding it for so long it's not really worth you keeping windows around | 09:35 |
| tsimpson | besides, you can get windows in a VM pretty easily | 09:36 |
| kilo_byte | tsimpson, there is only one use of windows for me | 09:36 |
| kilo_byte | google input tools | 09:36 |
| kilo_byte | and writing :D | 09:36 |
| tsimpson | the only time I've ever needed windows is when some device needed special drivers to interact with, and those drivers only existed for windows | 09:37 |
| tsimpson | and for those I just used a VM | 09:37 |
| kilo_byte | windows 8 has a pretty good UI | 09:38 |
| smartboyhw | kilo_byte, I hate Metro UI | 09:38 |
| kilo_byte | and it boots pretty fast too | 09:38 |
| kilo_byte | metro UI | 09:39 |
| kilo_byte | havent hear smartboyhw | 09:39 |
| kilo_byte | heard* | 09:39 |
| smartboyhw | kilo_byte, Metro UI = Windows 8 UI | 09:39 |
| kilo_byte | smartboyhw, oh.. cool | 09:40 |
| smartboyhw | kilo_byte, not cool | 09:40 |

| marcellux | hi. I've got a problem. when I connect my laptop to my tv via HDMI nothing happens. any ideas? | 11:52 |
| eur33r | KDE is so slow | 11:53 |
| eur33r | it doesn't run on 2.2GHz dual core celeron | 11:53 |
| ikonia | eur33r: why do you think it's the cpu that's the bottleneck /? | 11:54 |
| eur33r | CPU usage, 30% idle | 11:55 |
| eur33r | anyway | 11:55 |
| eur33r | I also have 4GB RAM | 11:55 |
| ikonia | that doesn't mean it's causing a slow down | 11:55 |
| eur33r | ATI Radeon 6450 HD | 11:56 |
| ikonia | as if it was slowing down you'd expect more usage as it would be bottlenecking | 11:56 |
| eur33r | and yeah that#s all the information I am allowed to give you | 11:56 |
| ikonia | allowed to give me ? | 11:56 |
| eur33r | not my computer | 11:56 |
| eur33r | you might hack it | 11:56 |
| ikonia | then no point discussing it any more - please don't raise this topic again unless you are willing to provide information | 11:57 |
| hateball | marcellux: well what do you expect to happen? are you telling the OS to actually output any image over hdmi? | 11:58 |
| eur33r | ikonia: okay, what info do you need? | 11:58 |
| eur33r | just ask | 11:58 |
| Leoneof | your password? | 11:58 |
| ikonia | eur33r: version of kubuntu, the configuration you've done on your video card, what's slow, what's not slow, | 11:58 |
| Leoneof | eur33r: the animation to min/max window is slow ,right? | 12:00 |
| marcellux | <hateball> no. I did not. I thought I just plug the cable and I can see my desktop on the tv | 12:00 |
| eur33r | Leoneof: yes | 12:01 |
| marcellux | like I do with windows | 12:01 |
| eur33r | ikonia: too personal tbh | 12:02 |
| ikonia | eur33r: then please don't ask for help with the problem | 12:02 |
| eur33r | ikonia: stop trolling | 12:03 |
| hateball | marcellux: It depends on what graphics chipset you have. If you have for instance Intel, you can use KDE's native plasmoid to change output | 12:08 |
| hateball | marcellux: Also it helps to know which version of Kubuntu you're running, as later versions use kscreen | 12:08 |
| classicchins | Any one there? | 12:09 |
| classicchins | hello | 12:09 |
| classicchins | i need some help from Mac users who use Kubuntu on mac | 12:09 |
| marcellux | I am using 12.10 with Kernel 3.10.0. It seems the OS does not even know how to deal with the HDMI port | 12:10 |
| classicchins | hey | 12:11 |
| classicchins | i am having some trouble | 12:11 |
| hateball | !anyone | 12:12 |
| ubottu | A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 12:12 |
| classicchins | @marcellux , i have installed Kubuntu 12.04 LTS on macbook, but once i restart after installation, i can't get to chose Kubuntu :( | 12:12 |
| hateball | marcellux: And what graphics chipset do you use? | 12:12 |
| classicchins | any there who can help me with this ? | 12:13 |
| hateball | marcellux: And do you use any proprietary drivers? | 12:13 |
| marcellux | <hateball> How can I find out what graphic chipset I am using? and if I'm using propietary drivers? | 12:14 |
| marcellux | <classicchins> I am sorry, I cannot help you with that. I never installed LInux on Mac | 12:15 |
| hateball | marcellux: In a terminal, "lspci|grep VGA" should give you some hint | 12:18 |
| hateball | marcellux: jockey-kde can be used to install proprietary drivers for nVidia or Ati | 12:18 |
| marcellux | <hateball> this is the result: | 12:19 |
| marcellux | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 12:19 |
| marcellux | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Madison [Radeon HD 5000M Series] | 12:19 |
| hateball | marcellux: I know next to nothing about ATI, but I think you should install the proprietary drivers using jockey-kde and that might make things work automagically | 12:22 |
| marcellux | <hateball> thanks. I will try that with the additional drivers for the 3rd party drives! | 12:23 |
| hateball | :) | 12:23 |
| classicchins | shadeslayer: i need help with dual boot .. i have installed Kubuntu on mac , but once installation is finished, and i reboot the machine, i am not able to chose between OSX and Installed Kubuntu | 12:27 |
| shadeslayer | right | 12:27 |
| shadeslayer | hi | 12:27 |
| shadeslayer | classicchins: what machine do you have? | 12:27 |
| classicchins | macbook pro 9,2 | 12:27 |
| shadeslayer | okay cool | 12:27 |
| shadeslayer | so there are two ways to fix this | 12:27 |
| classicchins | okay, | 12:27 |
| shadeslayer | you can a) hold option at boot to choose between OS X and Kubuntu | 12:27 |
| shadeslayer | or b) You can install refind which is what I did | 12:27 |
| shadeslayer | see http://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/ | 12:28 |
| classicchins | shadeslayer: well, i had chosen the first way, | 12:28 |
| shadeslayer | refind gives you the advantage of kernel stub booting | 12:28 |
| shadeslayer | so you bypass grub and you can directly boot the kernel from the EFI bootloader | 12:28 |
| classicchins | but, once i install, and reboot .. and hold the option key during startup, again, i can't find the option to chose | 12:28 |
| classicchins | hmmm.. so that leaves me only that option left ? | 12:29 |
| jussi | refind is nice | 12:29 |
| jussi | I recommend it | 12:29 |
| classicchins | thanks jussi and shadeslayer , lemme try using that now :( | 12:30 |
| shadeslayer | classicchins: yeah, use refind if holding the option key doesn't work | 12:30 |
| classicchins | had same issues with Ubuntu earlier @shadeslayer .. but it worked for few weeks, and then again stopped working .. now i am moving to Kubuntu and from the beginning its not working | 12:31 |
| classicchins | lemme see what i can do with refind now .. | 12:32 |
| shadeslayer | carlosbuz: I suspect some sort of grub-efi issue | 12:33 |
| shadeslayer | but I haven't used grub in a long time since I started using efi stub booting | 12:33 |
| marcellux | <hateball> unfortunatelly, it did not work. I got an error message telling me to take a look at the jockey.log. could this be caused because of using a higher kernel than what it sues this kubuntu version? | 12:36 |
| hateball | marcellux: oh you're using a custom kernel? | 12:38 |
| hateball | backported or such | 12:38 |
| hateball | and yes I guess that could be an issue. to be honest I havent used restricted drivers in years, I tend to stick to Intel for hasslefree computing ;p | 12:38 |
| marcellux | <hateball> the kernel I got it from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 12:40 |
| === moji_ is now known as moji | ||
| marcellux | <hateball> got version v3.10-saucy | 12:41 |
| hateball | marcellux: Yes, sadly I do not know how well that works together with something like jockey | 12:41 |
| hateball | But someone else in here might, so stick around I guess | 12:41 |
| marcellux | I will try to go back to the roots, with the original kernel I should be using according to my kubuntu version | 12:43 |
| BluesKaj | marcellux, good plan , then you'll have the correct kernel modules available for your hardware | 12:48 |
| marcellux | thanks. I will go now offline for a bit. I hope it works. cheers | 12:50 |

| shadeslayer | you just download the deb and install it | 13:27 |
| shadeslayer | that's all you have to do | 13:27 |
| shadeslayer | and then reboot | 13:27 |
| classicchins_ | shadeslayer: setting up kubuntu now .. | 13:27 |
| shadeslayer | ah okay | 13:27 |
| classicchins_ | just the same way i did earlier, but this time i have installed rEFInd | 13:28 |
| shadeslayer | cool :) | 13:28 |
| classicchins_ | hope this time it works fine ! | 13:28 |
| classicchins_ | i dont have a pretty good connection and its taking long time to install the packages .. 4th time installing today :( | 13:28 |
| mauricio | mauro_: Hi | 13:29 |
| shadeslayer | classicchins_: which version are you installing? | 13:29 |
| classicchins_ | 12.04 | 13:29 |
| classicchins_ | LTS | 13:29 |
| shadeslayer | uhmmm .. I'd recommend 13.04 | 13:30 |
| shadeslayer | atleast | 13:30 |
| classicchins_ | shadeslayer : oh :( i dont want to follow same procedure again :( damn .. butw, can i directly upgrade some way or the other to 13.04 ? | 13:30 |
| shadeslayer | because the kernel is more recent, probably has better support and I know that the 64 bit kubuntu ISO can be booted off a USB stick | 13:30 |
| shadeslayer | you can sure, but the biggest issue is booting into Kubuntu once you install | 13:31 |
| classicchins_ | hmmm :( what do u suggest me to do now ? | 13:31 |
| shadeslayer | wasn't that your biggest issue? | 13:31 |
| shadeslayer | that you can't reboot into kubuntu once you install it | 13:31 |
| mauricio | mauro:ping | 13:31 |
| mauricio | mauro_: ping | 13:31 |
| classicchins_ | shadeslayer : yes, that was | 13:31 |
| shadeslayer | classicchins_: yeah, so 13.04 doesn't have that issue AFAIK | 13:32 |
| classicchins_ | shadeslayer: lemme try rebooting now .. i ll ping u here once i am done for now.. lets continue upgrading discussion later .. | 13:32 |
| shadeslayer | okay | 13:32 |
| shadeslayer | here's the thing | 13:32 |
| classicchins_ | :) | 13:32 |
| classicchins_ | k | 13:32 |
| shadeslayer | if you can reboot into kubuntu, awesome | 13:32 |
| shadeslayer | then you don't need to upgrade | 13:32 |
| shadeslayer | but if you can't, then you'll need to download 13.04 and install that | 13:33 |
| classicchins_ | shadeslayer: Even i hope it will reboot .. if it fails, again i ll have to download and install 13.04 and see if it works fine ! | 13:33 |
| shadeslayer | cool :) | 13:33 |
| classicchins_ | shadeslayer : rebooting.. cya later once i do login after reboot :) | 13:33 |
| shadeslayer | :) | 13:34 |
| classicchins | @shadeslayer : m on mob now.. Its a failure again :( | 13:37 |
| shadeslayer | classicchins: thought so | 13:37 |
| shadeslayer | classicchins: please download the 64 bit 13.04 ISO | 13:38 |
| shadeslayer | note that only the 64 bit one works | 13:38 |
| shadeslayer | the 32 bit one doesn't have grub-efi | 13:38 |
| classicchins | Shadeslayer: from mobile now.. It's a failure again :( | 13:39 |
| shadeslayer | oh | 13:39 |
| shadeslayer | <shadeslayer> classicchins: please download the 64 bit 13.04 ISO | 13:40 |
| shadeslayer | <shadeslayer> note that only the 64 bit one works | 13:40 |
| shadeslayer | <shadeslayer> the 32 bit one doesn't have grub-efi | 13:40 |

| classicchins | In boot menu ... I had 2 options.. One for mac and other to load linux.. When i chose linux it failed andbasked to insert boot device | 13:40 |
| classicchins | :( | 13:40 |
| classicchins | I am trying 64 bit onw | 13:41 |
| classicchins | Now again i ll have to wait for 1 day to get 13.04 downloaded :( | 13:41 |
| shadeslayer | classicchins: yeah, macs are horribkle | 13:43 |
| shadeslayer | I've vowed never to get one again | 13:43 |
| classicchins | Shadeslayer: lol.. Any ways.. Thanks for ya time.. Cya tomo :) | 13:44 |
| classicchins | Shadeslayer: but i love mac n macos ;) | 13:45 |
| shadeslayer | classicchins: heh, sure, but they charge you apple tax for no reason | 13:45 |
| shadeslayer | I got swayed by the guy selling the laptop at the apple store | 13:46 |
| classicchins | Shadeslayer : i know :( i wish they lay it off soon :( | 13:46 |
| shadeslayer | lol, probably never going to happen | 13:47 |
| classicchins | Lol | 13:47 |

| classicchins | Hmmm.. | 13:48 |
| classicchins | Shadeslayer: any ways :( cya around tomo once i try with 13.04 | 13:49 |
| classicchins | Hope that will work :( | 13:49 |

| classicchins | Cya.. Thanks a lot again :) | 13:50 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: do you run kubuntu on your macbook ? | 13:51 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: yes | 13:52 |
| ikonia | which year macbook is it ? | 13:52 |
| shadeslayer | 8,2 | 13:52 |
| ikonia | how do you find it ? | 13:53 |
| shadeslayer | depends, I had *alot* of issues when I bought it | 13:53 |
| shadeslayer | which was in late mid 2011 | 13:53 |
| shadeslayer | s/late// | 13:53 |
| ikonia | a lot of issues with it as a device, or a lot of issues running kubuntu on it | 13:53 |
| shadeslayer | the latter | 13:54 |
| shadeslayer | primarily because the kernel didn't have proper hardware support | 13:54 |
| ikonia | yes, hence my questioning, | 13:54 |
| shadeslayer | it's alot better now | 13:54 |
| ikonia | due you dual boot it with mac OS, or pure kubuntu ? | 13:54 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: I've done both in the past, but I have OS X now because sometimes I have to call up apple support for part replacements and they only support OS X fore debugging | 13:55 |
| shadeslayer | so far I've had my battery and HDD replaced ( over the course of 2 years ) | 13:55 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: how do you manage the booting ? | 13:55 |
| ikonia | that's shockingly bad luck for hardware failure | 13:55 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: I use refind which allows me to directly boot the kernel | 13:55 |
| ss_haze | I need to make a short cut to command on kde desktop like sudo dolphin /var/www | 13:55 |
| shadeslayer | ss_haze: you could put a desktop file with : kdesudo dolphin | 13:55 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: so you basically put a layer into the efi setup, | 13:56 |
| ss_haze | ah | 13:56 |
| shadeslayer | not sure if dolphin takes arguments | 13:56 |
| shadeslayer | okay it does | 13:56 |
| ss_haze | so I create .desktop file | 13:56 |
| ss_haze | I forgot this | 13:56 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: kinda, EFI allows you to run additional scripts once it sets up everything | 13:56 |
| shadeslayer | refind is just a EFI script | 13:56 |
| shadeslayer | which allows you to choose between OS's/Kernels and even allows you to boot grub EFI | 13:57 |
| shadeslayer | kernel stub booting is necessary on the 8,2 because with grub efi something goes wrong with the radeon card | 13:57 |
| shadeslayer | but works perfectly with kernel stub booting | 13:57 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: though the hardware itself is bad in certain ways | 13:59 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: for eg the aluminium shell gets dented easily | 13:59 |
| shadeslayer | I dropped it a couple of times and one of the edges is pressed in | 13:59 |
| shadeslayer | then it has heating issues because the body is all aluminium | 14:00 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: I concur, it's a mixed bag of good/bad | 14:00 |
| shadeslayer | yep | 14:00 |
| shadeslayer | but I won't ever buy another MBP again | 14:00 |
| shadeslayer | too much apple tax | 14:00 |
| ikonia | I was curious to how you'd found it with kubuntu and especially the boot management | 14:01 |
| shadeslayer | Get a Dell / Thinkpad + 3 year warranty | 14:01 |
| BluesKaj | it's a shame how some manufacturers won't supply drivers for linux users , altho most HW is supported there some anomalies that are constantly ignored. Lexmark (most) and Creative SB CAO132 are a couple of examples | 14:01 |
| ikonia | I'm sat here now on my second thinkpad with perfect support and stability | 14:01 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: well ... I can definitely say that the average person who buys a MBP won't be able to run Kubuntu on it | 14:01 |
| shadeslayer | you'll need to mess with too many things | 14:01 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: apple is an exception to the rule, they do make it %101 clear when you buy and in support that their hardware/software platform is a black box | 14:01 |
| shadeslayer | ^^ | 14:02 |
| BluesKaj | ikonia, and with most things apple , you pay for support , correct ? | 14:02 |
| shadeslayer | btw with Windows 8.1 coming up TPM chips will become mandatory | 14:02 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj: partly, there is a good warranty | 14:03 |
| shadeslayer | so not sure how much I can trust computers with 8.1 | 14:03 |
| shadeslayer | BluesKaj: I have an extended warranty | 14:03 |
| shadeslayer | cost me 300 USD I think | 14:03 |
| shadeslayer | gives you a extended 2 year cover period which does not involve the battery | 14:04 |
| shadeslayer | but I managed to talk them into replacing mine for free | 14:04 |
| BluesKaj | never owned any apple prods , altho my daughter has an IMac which has a dead HDD ,and replacement is really complicated and expensive. | 14:04 |
| shadeslayer | yep, if you go through the official channels it's super expensive :< | 14:05 |
| BluesKaj | so she bought a lenovo thru her friend'scompany , saving about 40% | 14:05 |
| shadeslayer | whoa | 14:06 |
| * shadeslayer needs to find people at lenovo :P | 14:06 | |
| shadeslayer | then I can buy a thinkpad for super cheap prices xD | 14:06 |
| shadeslayer | I'm waiting for a thinkpad with a Intel 4400 chip + a FHD display | 14:06 |
| shadeslayer | and that's less than 1.5 KG's :P | 14:07 |
| BluesKaj | ok , bbl ... gotta check some things | 14:09 |

I've installed it, but when I choose the hypervised kernel it gets most of the way through the boot process and htne hangs before the login screen comes up. It won't even respond to crtl-alt-del at that stage, and I have to pull the plug :( | 16:37 |
| ikonia | jcgs: sounds like a hardware problem/incomaptability | 16:41 |
| ikonia | jcgs: what's the last thing it does on screen | 16:41 |
| ikonia | jcgs: try to not to cross-post questions across mulitple channel too please. | 16:42 |
| === benmoose is now known as SonikkuAmerica | ||
| jcgs | ikonia: i definitely have hardware virtualization, and it's enabled in bios. The last thing on screen is either the kubuntu logo (if booting with splash) or lots of * starting... type entries (if using nosplash) | 16:53 |
| jcgs | ikonia: will it be listed anywhere in a log file, that sort of thing? | 16:53 |
| ikonia | jcgs: note it down, boot it withou the splash | 16:53 |
| jcgs | ikonia: will be writing for quite some time. I've only see it claim to be starting lightdm once though, and it still hung after that :( | 16:55 |
| ikonia | just get the last one or two entries | 16:55 |
| ikonia | or get anyone that it hangs on | 16:55 |
| jcgs | kk | 16:55 |
| jcgs | it doesn't seem to get stuck doing anything though... it seems to do everything it says it's doing sucessfully | 16:55 |
| jcgs | ikonia: it failed again :( the last two things were * stopping [OK] * starting CUPS printer spooler/server [OK] | 17:06 |
| jcgs | ikonia: i think it's stopped on the cups one a lot | 17:06 |

| ikonia | it shouldn't be stopping anything | 17:10 |
| ikonia | it should be starting | 17:10 |
| jcgs | ikonia: it stops lots of things | 17:17 |
| jcgs | like "restore sound cards mixer states | 17:18 |
| jcgs | ikonia: going to have dinner now, but will leave IRC open. | 17:18 |

| arkanabar | Is there a KDE plasmoid that will hold the mouse pointer locked in place? | 18:25 |
| arkanabar | There used to be a panel widget for that in gnome 2, and I would LOVE to have that for my laptop. | 18:25 |
| BluesKaj | arkanabar, does synaptiks have such a feature ? | 18:27 |
| arkanabar | BluesKaj: not sure, not on my lappy right now. | 18:30 |
| BluesKaj | I don't recall such a feature , but I haven't had access to my laptop in over a yr :P | 18:33 |
| arkanabar | I'm using 12.04 on it. | 18:33 |
| genii | BluesKaj: Are you running 13.10 right now? | 18:35 |
| BluesKaj | yes | 18:36 |

| PewPewPew | For people that use non-stock kernels. pf vs liquorix? I have been luqirox *zen really) for years. But would like to hear others experiences | 19:57 |
| PewPewPew | liquorix (zen really) | 19:58 |
| BluesKaj | PewPewPew, I dropped it after about a month , didn't see much benefit and it mucked up my graphics driver after an upgrade on 13.04 last week | 19:59 |
| BluesKaj | liquorix that is | 19:59 |
| PewPewPew | Well this is basic intel (not i7) so its pretty simple going | 19:59 |
| PewPewPew | And even with liquorix its not that /hard/ to get it going even after an update | 20:00 |
| PewPewPew | nvidia that is | 20:00 |
| BluesKaj | ok , my graphics is nvidia 8400gs pci | 20:00 |
| PewPewPew | you just need to use the manual nvidia installer on kernels such as these | 20:00 |
| PewPewPew | and remember to reinstall after each kernel upgrade (as long as you have headers) | 20:00 |
| BluesKaj | well , i'm not a gamer so i don't see much difference | 20:01 |
| PewPewPew | Ya, I dont really care about that, I just wanted the ck patchset | 20:01 |
| PewPewPew | As I have been using Con Kolivas' work for over 10 years now | 20:01 |
| BluesKaj | I bought the graphics card to connect to our TV HDMI input | 20:02 |
| PewPewPew | k | 20:02 |
| PewPewPew | This is just a buildbox/desktop in a 1U server | 20:03 |
| PewPewPew | And its all simple intel stuff, integrated, not APU | 20:03 |
| PewPewPew | GMA3500 and stuff, even on my thinkpad | 20:03 |
| BluesKaj | but using a debian kernel for graphics in my case wasn't the right choice | 20:03 |
| PewPewPew | This sucks I bored my old ~/ dir, I have so much configuration to do | 20:03 |
| PewPewPew | borked* | 20:04 |
| BluesKaj | why not just reinstall to / ? | 20:04 |
| PewPewPew | Reinstall zsh, setup all my aliases, give sudo passwordless access (I dont allow zsh except from LAN | 20:04 |
| PewPewPew | BluesKaj:drive died | 20:05 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 20:05 |
| PewPewPew | Now I got my 1U buildbox/desktop I grabbed on the cheap. And thats gonna be a desktp rather than my thinkpad | 20:05 |
| BluesKaj | zsh ? | 20:05 |
| PewPewPew | Yes, I love zsh | 20:05 |
| PewPewPew | Myuch more powerful than bash imho | 20:05 |
| BluesKaj | oh | 20:05 |
| PewPewPew | brb. need to reboot or relogin totally to get zsh fully going | 20:07 |

| leonardocr | BluesKaj, I don't understand | 20:19 |
| BluesKaj | leonardocr, I was trying to invoke the factoid bot , like this | 20:21 |
| BluesKaj | !uck | 20:21 |
| ubottu | uck is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ | 20:21 |
| BluesKaj | but there used to be another tool to do so , but I've forgotten the name | 20:22 |
| BluesKaj | !remastersys | 20:25 |
| BluesKaj | hmm | 20:25 |
| Unit193 | !remaster | 20:26 |
| ubottu | Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | leonardocr, http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Fully-Customized-Live-Kde-Cd/Dvd-Using-Kubuntu | 20:27 |
| leonardocr | ahh, ok BluesKaj, but I used uck with kubuntu 13.04 but I get an error when it is creating the iso | 20:28 |
| BluesKaj | leonardocr, that tutorial uses remastersys | 20:29 |
| BluesKaj | looks like a lot of work to me , don't think I can be bothered | 20:31 |
| leonardocr | BluesKaj, I followed that tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization, but finally when I was testing, I get an error | 20:36 |

| frantic_ | cool | 20:47 |
| Guest40539 | Yeah. Does kubuntu have a software center | 20:47 |
| genii | Guest40539: It uses muon by default, same idea | 20:53 |
