[00:10] <Samizdatguy> I think I'm having some kernel issues. Random key will stick from time to time, and music will randomly drop out for a couple seconds every so often.
[00:10] <Samizdatguy> I'm running 13.10 beta, but have had this issue before on earlier builds.
[00:32] <leo_33>  in your opinion why would a headhunter continue sending you info about a job after a  job interview?
[00:34] <genii> leo_33: It's not really a Kubuntu support question, but my first inclination is to say the headhunter is an automated mass mailing system that doesn't know you went to the interview.
[00:35] <leo_33> sorry i know its not a kubuntu support. not it wasnt mass mail, the email was tailored to the job and to me.
[00:38] <Samizdatguy> leo_33: He really wants you to take the job so he gets paid.
[00:38] <genii> leo_33: They probably have zero contact with the place you were interviewed and don't know you went already. Or else the guy is horribly organized if you or the company told him your interview date.
[00:39] <leo_33> i think its waht Samizdatguy said.
[00:39] <leo_33> do these guys talk to people within the company?
[00:40] <Samizdatguy> Got me dude. Try #head-hunters
[00:40] <leo_33> nobody there
[00:40] <Samizdatguy> Though that might be a Herbie Hancock discussion channel.
[00:41] <genii> leo_33: Most headhunters don't have any contact with the companies they send you to. All they do is cull the job openings from newspapers, online ads, etc and try to find one which suits your qualifications so you can go there.
[00:41] <Samizdatguy> Full service here in #kubuntu
[00:41] <Samizdatguy> Except for my kernel question.
[00:42] <genii> Samizdatguy: Well, it's quiet and no support issues currently on the table.
[00:42]  * Samizdatguy clears his throat.
[00:42] <genii> Samizdatguy: Might want to try #ubuntu+1 since you're running 13.10
[00:42] <Samizdatguy> Whats the +1 all about?
[00:42] <genii> ( it's the same channel whether Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, etc)
[00:43] <Samizdatguy> Okay, will do.
[00:43] <Samizdatguy> Thanks.
[00:43] <genii> Samizdatguy: It's the channel for support on the upcoming not-yet-in-release-and-supported *buntu eg: Saucy
[00:44] <Samizdatguy> Yeah, it's an old issue, though.
[00:44] <jpbouza> hi! I'm trying to install 13.04 in an AMD phenom machine.... I've tried with all the boot parameters, nomodeset, no acpi, etc... there no way to avoid the blank screen when hitting the start kubuntu.... is there any other work around?
[00:45] <jpbouza> 10.04 installer works fine
[01:02] <chachan> jpbouza, did you try 13.10?
[01:03] <jpbouza> hi chachan , no I didn't, is there any fix about this?
[01:03] <jpbouza> cause I'm also trying with the 12.04 dvd and I get the same problem
[01:03] <chachan> jpbouza, I have no idea but you can test it
[01:03] <jpbouza> hehe, ok
[07:14] <lordievader> Good morning.
[08:31] <excognac> Hi all. Why my grub boot menu keys has suddenly changed from regular arrow keys to "p" for previous, "n" for next and "e" for last? I didn't change anything there. this a laptop with klubuntu 12.04 and grub 1.99
[08:34] <excognac> any ideas how to change it back?
[08:36] <lordievader> excognac: Do you also get this with an external keyboard?
[08:37] <lordievader> !pm
[08:37] <lordievader> !pm| excognac 
[08:37] <lordievader> excognac: Would be a good test, it will tell you if the keyboard is at fault or grub.
[08:38] <excognac> lordievader: thanks. is there anything i an do without external keyboard
[08:38] <excognac> ?
[08:39] <lordievader> You can try updating grub, but I'm not sure if that will help: sudo update-grub
[08:40] <excognac> lordievader: otherwise my keyboard functions properly except that if i boot win7 i can't type my password in. does this help?
[08:40] <excognac> i just updated grub, no change
[08:40] <lordievader> Hmm, that kind of sounds like a keyboard error.
[08:41] <excognac> is there any test i can run for it to ensure?
[08:42] <excognac> in other words how is it possible that grub and win has problems with the keyboard but a loaded kubuntu not at all?
[08:43] <lordievader> The linux kernel probably loads it's own driver. Google your laptop model to see if there are more issues with the keyboard.
[08:54] <excognac> lordievader: thanks for your help, i'll try to get an external keyboard asap
[08:56] <lordievader> Good luck!
[09:13] <vurado> hi! anyone know how to set kubuntu to 1920x1080 res inside virtual box?
[11:53] <Canid> Hello - - I have what should be an easy problem
[11:53] <Canid> I am trying to downgrade a program
[11:53] <Canid> I tried using Muon
[11:54] <Canid> but the "force Version" button will not work
[11:54] <Canid> so I want to do it from the terminal
[11:54] <lordievader> Canid: Is the earlier version available in the repo?
[11:54] <Canid> Yes
[11:55] <Canid> it is Thunderbird I'm trying to downgrade
[11:55] <Canid> there's a 24 and a 17.05
[11:55] <Canid> but I can't find the actual name of the package to use with sudo apt-get install
[11:55] <lordievader> Canid: Downgrading/pinning I usually do through Synaptic. Not sure how to do so with apt.
[11:56] <Canid> Really? It's easier with synaptic?
[11:56] <Canid> I don't mind uninstalling it first
[11:56] <Canid> I did that yesterday, when I was trying to get muon to work
[11:57] <Canid> I was under the impressing I could just install it fresh with sudo apt-get install and specify the package I wanted
[11:58] <Canid> but I get this:
[11:58] <Canid> E: Unable to locate package thunderbird 17.0.5+build1-0ubuntu1
[11:58] <Canid> E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'thunderbird 17.0.5+build1-0ubuntu1'
[11:58] <Canid> (I've tried a few different combos, because the name I expected to work didn't
[11:59] <Canid> I tried " apt-cache showpkg "thunderbird" "
[12:00] <Canid> but that lists all the thunderbird addons from the repository
[12:00] <Canid> and I can't see one that looks like JUST thunderbird
[12:01] <Canid> other than "17.0.5+build1-0ubuntu1 - mail-reader"
[12:01] <Canid> which it can't find
[12:02] <Canid> E: Unable to locate package 17.0.5+build1-0ubuntu1 - mail-reader
[12:02] <Canid> E: Couldn't find any package by regex '17.0.5+build1-0ubuntu1 - mail-reader'
[12:04] <lordievader> Canid: This might help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[12:08] <Canid> I'm not sure that helps
[12:08] <Canid> I might use it to "pin" the version before I even install it
[12:09] <Canid> but just to do that, I'd still need to know the proper name to use
[12:09] <lordievader> Canid: http://askubuntu.com/questions/138284/how-to-downgrade-a-package-via-apt-get
[12:15] <Canid> okay... it's not finding a version 17 , 17.0 or 17.05
[12:16] <Canid> so maybe I'm wrong about a previous version being there
[12:16] <Canid> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird
[12:16] <Canid> shows              1:24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.13.04.1                                        updates, security           (main)
[12:17] <Canid> which is version 24
[12:17] <Canid> and 17.0.5+build1-0ubuntu1                                        release           (main)         
[12:17] <Canid> which I thought was version 17
[12:17] <Canid> they have different release dates
[12:17] <lordievader> Canid: You can check with "apt-cache policy thunderbird"
[12:19] <Canid> for version table it shows
[12:20] <Canid>  *** 1:24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.13.04.1 0

[12:20] <Canid> (ah, that's where paste-bin is)
[12:20] <Canid> (I was trying to find it)
[12:21] <lordievader> !paste
[12:21] <Canid> I just want to install the 17.0.5 build without the 1:24.0 update
[12:22] <lordievader> Canid: This doesn't work: apt-get install thunderbird=17.0.5+build1-0ubuntu1
[12:23] <Canid> Yes, that did it!
[12:23] <Canid> Thank-you!
[12:27] <lordievader> No problem.

[13:09] <Gargoyle1976> Just had to change out my video card.  Video memory went bad.  New video card fine, but mouse is very jerky.  Any thoughts?
[13:09] <excognac> lordievader: hi again, I'm the guy with the keyboard issue: i tried it with external usb keyboard, it gives the exact same result: I can't use arrow keys in grub boot menu and can't type my pwd in for win.
[13:17] <BluesKaj> Gargoyle1976, which video card ?
[13:17] <lordievader> excognac: Huh, well that is annoying. I'm kind of at a loss for a solution. Perhaps someone else knows?
[13:20] <ovidiu-florin> please add to the community page of kubuntu.org the link to https://wiki.kubuntu.org/RomanianTeam
[13:21] <ovidiu-florin> Riddell ^
[13:21] <excognac> lordievader: still thanks a lot, Problem is the next: i have a laptop with kubuntu 12.04 grub 1.99 multiboot. upon having the bootmenu I canát use arrow keys to select OS but "p" and "n" keys move the highlight, "e" jumps to last option, win7. Win7 boots, then keyboard doesn't work. External keyboard gives the same result
[13:21] <ovidiu-florin> Riddell: or directly to the ro.kubuntu.org site
[13:22] <excognac> grub has been updated recently, no malwares found.
[13:23] <ovidiu-florin> oh, sorry, wrong channel
[15:06] <Gargoyle1976> Had a nVidia 9600gt.  got a gt610 to replace it.
[15:07] <Gargoyle1976> BluesKaj, Had a nVidia 9600gt. got a gt610 to replace it.
[15:31] <Gargoyle1976> Just had to change out my video card. Video memory went bad. New video card fine, but mouse is very jerky. Any thoughts?
[15:31] <Gargoyle1976> Had a nVidia 9600gt. got a gt610 to replace it.
[15:31] <Gargoyle1976> Mouse seems slow to react
[16:01] <rosco_y> Does anyone know why my HP Device Manager - Plug-in installer reinstalls the Plug-in every time I restart to my computer?
[16:11] <Gargoyle1976> ne1?
[16:14] <Gargoyle1976> any help on a unresponsive mouse?
[16:14] <Gargoyle1976> everything else seems fine

[19:37] <arne_> hi zoiss
[20:20] <grdn> hi
[20:23] <grdn> hi i'm new to this, can somebody help me, "how to connect to another irc" !?
[20:23] <sithlord48> file
[20:23] <grdn> file?
[20:23] <sithlord48> configure networks.. 
[20:23] <Pici> Depends on your IRC client of course.
[20:23] <grdn> im using konversation
[20:24] <grdn> and wanna connect to "#5on5.css" for example
[20:24] <sithlord48> oh well i was assuming quassel since its the kubuntu default. for konversataion check settings.
[20:25] <BluesKaj> grdn:  depends on which irc server #5on5.css. is listed on
[20:26] <BluesKaj> sithlord48:  that's a default that i fail to understand 
[20:26] <grdn> in the internet i found "irc.lc/quakenet/5on5.css/" but i think thats the "lifechat" address
[20:27] <sithlord48> BluesKaj:  why you don't like quassel?  or because its not the kde defalut? 
[20:27] <BluesKaj> quassel part of that remote server metality that KDE seems to have acquired over the last few yrs , but not all of us use remote servers
[20:27] <BluesKaj> mentality
[20:28] <grdn> so the problem is, what do i have to put in at F2 ->serverlist "server" ???
[20:28] <grdn> what address and which port do i need
[20:29] <sithlord48> grdn that depends on teh irc server.. you need the address. 
[20:29] <grdn> for example for the quakenet 5on5.css channel
[20:29] <grdn> and where can i find that address?
[20:29] <BluesKaj> konversation is an easy to use and effective irc client , and why it's replaced by something as clunky and ugly as quassel is beyond me.
[20:29] <BluesKaj> that's my rant for today:)
[20:30] <sithlord48> https://www.quakenet.org/servers
[20:30] <sithlord48> BluesKaj:  but i like quassel.. althought i =ve not used konversation in a long time.. 
[20:31] <BluesKaj> sithlord48:  well to each his own , i certainly won't use qussel unless i absolutely have to.
[20:32] <sithlord48> BluesKaj:  ill have to install konverstion check it out its been a long time like kde 3.0 days. lol
[20:33] <BluesKaj> really sithlord48 , konversation hasn't really chnged very much, sasl is available , maybe some scripting , but I don't pay much attn to that stuff
[20:34] <sithlord48> BluesKaj: my irc needs are very basic i just sign on here help and maybe a few other rooms. 
[20:34] <BluesKaj> yeah , same here , sithlord48
[20:57] <harolddong> are metacontacts enabled in the kubuntu builds of kde-telepathy 0.6.80? I updated but none of my contacts are grouped as metacontacts and I see no way to manually group them. What am I missing?
