| redDragon | is there a way to move the panel widget around in the system tray panel | 03:11 |
| redDragon | something like dragging them | 03:11 |
| redDragon | and placing them whereever I wish? | 03:11 |
| tsimpson | redDragon: press the cashew, then you should be able to position them | 03:15 |
| redDragon | tsimpson: whats a cashew? | 03:16 |
| tsimpson | the little icon you use to open the menu to resize the panel, add widgets, etc | 03:16 |
| redDragon | ah | 03:16 |
| redDragon | got it | 03:16 |
| redDragon | tsimpson: thank you !! | 03:16 |

| gsedej_work | Hi! I would like to use Alt+1 for switching to first tab in browsers. Somehow it does not work (other numbers work). There is no other shortcut for Alt+1 | 07:26 |
| sbivol | gsedej_work: I just tested in Firefox and Rekonq, on Kubuntu 13.04. both work with Alt+F1 | 07:32 |
| sbivol | maybe you have that combination assigned to some shortcut? | 07:33 |
| sbivol | gsedej_work: Alt+1, I mean | 07:36 |
| === wxl_ is now known as wxl | ||
| gsedej_work | sbivol, it works in gnome for both firefox and chromium | 07:46 |

| gsedej_work | but not alt+1 which is for first tab (mail) | 07:46 |

| evilC | (Well, ubuntu suffers from the same bug, would I need to report it there?) | 12:04 |
| evilC | specifically, when plugging more than one monitor into a secondary GPU, you cannot use the computer as it always displays the login screen | 12:05 |

| danboid | but its very generic | 18:36 |
| danboid | It lists about 20 envvars you need to define before it will build! | 18:37 |

| rodnice | QUESTION: Does anyone know how I would go about fixing AUDIO? Specifically, Studio programs (Ardour, Hydrogen) tend to hog all of the audio when they are opened and don't let go of the resource until I restart the computer. | 20:23 |
| acooper | Howdy. I notice that kubuntu has something called LightDM instead of KDM. How big a deal is it to install KDM instead? I looking online but haven't found anything specific about that yet. | 20:41 |
| Authority | acooper: I've flip-flopped between LightDM and KDM in the past and don't remember any particular difficulties | 20:45 |
| acooper | Cool. Is is just a matter of running the "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm" command? | 20:46 |
| Authority | seems like after the installation of KDM, it will present a little dialog to let you choose which login manager you want to use | 20:46 |
| Authority | or that | 20:46 |
| acooper | Should I be using kdesudo instead of sudo for some reason? | 20:47 |
| acooper | Alright, that was easy enough. Thanks Authority. | 20:57 |

| rodnice | Question: Cloning a Drive: How would I go about that? | 21:17 |
| michaelkrtikos | Hello everyone | 21:29 |
| michaelkrtikos | could you please help me with the instant messaging? It seems that i cannot login to facebook chat via Empathy or Instant Messages Contacts | 21:31 |
| michaelkrtikos | I get an authorization failed error | 21:31 |
| michaelkrtikos | Let me say that with pidgin i can connect | 21:32 |
| Mamarok | rodnice: the tool commonly used to cloe a drive is called dd | 21:36 |
| Mamarok | to clone* an drive | 21:37 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: is there a GUI you could suggest? | 21:37 |
| Mamarok | nope, stuff like that is usually not done in a GUI | 21:38 |
| septix | hey guys im trying to use an usb dvb-s2 box under my kubuntu 13.10, could anybody tell me whats the problem with make is? http://paste.frubar.net/15713 | 21:38 |
| Mamarok | septix: are you following a guide for that? You didn't specify a target | 21:39 |
| septix | yes i follow a readme file, would you like to see it Mamarok ? | 21:39 |
| Mamarok | septix: not really, you should read it again as you probably missed a step, the error you pasted tells you what you did wrong | 21:40 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: I hope I'm using the correct terminology. So if I want to copy my current laptop as is (without probably media files) and install it to another computer, that is called "cloning" correct? | 21:40 |
| Mamarok | rodnice: yes | 21:40 |
| Mamarok | but cloning takes a lot of time, you would be probably better of to just backup your files and then make a fresh installation | 21:41 |
| septix | Mamarok, the readme says "build and install the driver with make && make install", thats what i tried, "make" | 21:41 |
| Mamarok | espeically if the operating system is also on that drive | 21:41 |
| rodnice | oh | 21:42 |
| Mamarok | and if the laptop specifications are not exactly the same this will not work | 21:42 |
| rodnice | OK | 21:42 |
| rodnice | Ohhhh OK OK | 21:42 |
| rodnice | yeah I guess you're right | 21:42 |
| Mamarok | septix: make needs a target, and you probably don't have all dependencies | 21:42 |
| rodnice | just being lazy and don't want to setup my system again with all the tweeks | 21:42 |
| Mamarok | septix: are you sure you need a driver that is not available in a repo? | 21:43 |
| Mamarok | rodnice: I fear that cloing is not meant for that, it is used to duplicate identical installations, including the same ahrdware | 21:43 |
| Mamarok | very handy in big deplyoments | 21:43 |
| Mamarok | not suitable if you change your hardware | 21:44 |
| rodnice | ahhhhh | 21:44 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: Thanks man! | 21:44 |
| Mamarok | you are welcome, but I am not a man :) | 21:44 |
| rodnice | I'll read up on dd | 21:44 |
| septix | i dont really know, its a DVB-S2 USB Box with a driver supplied by the company, i dont really know much things about this thats why i strictly try to install whats on the delivered cd Mamarok | 21:44 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: sorry! | 21:44 |
| rodnice | Where is Paparok? | 21:45 |
| rodnice | j/k | 21:45 |
| Mamarok | septix: well, the drivers are usually meant for Windows, not for Linux | 21:45 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: so what is Ubuntu Customization Kit and Remastersys for? | 21:45 |
| septix | Mamarok, this company delivered a linux driver on the cd | 21:45 |
| Mamarok | rodnice: no idea, did you google it? But really reinstalling a Kubuntu and just copying over your personal files with rsync is really much easier, believe me | 21:46 |
| Mamarok | and you would get a fresh installation without all the cruft you probably have on the old one | 21:46 |
| rodnice | OK... see I need to get Windows out of my head | 21:46 |
| Mamarok | yep | 21:46 |
| Mamarok | especially since a fresh installation of a Kubuntu system takes less than an hour | 21:47 |
| Mamarok | not like Windows :) | 21:47 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: take care. I gotta go. you're the bestest! (that is a word... at least now it is) | 21:47 |
| Mamarok | :) | 21:47 |
| wikus | INDEX | 21:47 |
| Mamarok | septix: did you try to just connect to it without that driver first? | 21:47 |
| Mamarok | wikus: please read the topic | 21:48 |
| septix | Mamarok, well, i came from another dristribution, there i tried just "plug and play", since the delivered drivers are for ubuntu based systems i installed kubuntu real quick | 21:52 |
| Mamarok | septix: what puzzles me is the kernel number, is that the Linux kernel? seems not to be what is current in 13.10 | 21:53 |
| septix | uname -r throws 3.11.0-12-generic | 21:54 |
| septix | i installed 3.04 and updated to 3.10 | 21:54 |
| Mamarok | well, that error message talks about a kernel 3.1.2, which is definitely not the right one | 21:55 |
| Mamarok | so the driver provided is precompiled for a much older kernel | 21:55 |
| Mamarok | I guess | 21:55 |
| Mamarok | which is not surprising as hardware manufacturers are rarely up-to-date when it comes to Linux | 21:56 |
| septix | ah thats right, i didnt payed attention to that, i tried something and have to reboot now, i will be right back and post the result Mamarok :) | 21:59 |
| goodtime | hmmph | 22:00 |
| goodtime | hey BluesKaj you available? | 22:01 |
| goodtime | need some info man | 22:02 |
| septix | so back i am | 22:03 |
| septix | Mamarok, because of you i recognized i was in the wrong folder with the OLD driver the whole time :/.. the output of the new driver i a little different, but i get an error too: http://paste.frubar.net/15714 | 22:06 |
| Mamarok | septix: did you use sudo rights? | 22:07 |
| septix | i have a root terminal running | 22:07 |
| goodtime | and? | 22:07 |
| goodtime | so i guess your ready to install or change things as root... | 22:08 |
| Mamarok | goodtime: YOu were not here earlier, please... | 22:08 |
| goodtime | septix are you trying to do something as root? | 22:09 |
| Mamarok | goodtime: yes, he is, and you lack half an hour of what we were doing earlier, so please | 22:09 |
| goodtime | because if you dont know what your doing as root youll prob mess things up a bit | 22:10 |
| goodtime | ok sorry | 22:10 |
| goodtime | my bad i just like helping | 22:10 |
| goodtime | if possibale | 22:10 |
| Mamarok | septix: did you try to erase the build folder and start from scratch? | 22:10 |
| Mamarok | goodtime: well, as I said, this is something that started long before you came in, and I am handling it | 22:11 |
| goodtime | ok ;) | 22:11 |
| septix | Mamarok, do you mean deleati | 22:12 |
| septix | deleating the /lib/modules/3.11.0-12-generic/build folder? | 22:12 |
| Mamarok | no, don't tuch that one, but the folder you are in when you run make | 22:12 |
| septix | no, but i can do that real quick | 22:12 |
| Mamarok | I presume you had to create a new folder | 22:12 |
| Mamarok | and make writes stuff in the folder, so maybe the old config files it did create are not valid anymore | 22:13 |
| Mamarok | just don't erase anything in /lib/ | 22:13 |
| septix | alright, thats because i got confused i would never delete something there without exactly knowing what i do | 22:14 |
| Mamarok | septix: in your home folder you can do what you want, just don't do anythin in a system folder with sudo rights | 22:15 |
| Mamarok | septix: as I said: you are working in your home folder, aren't you? because if you are in a system folder that is very wrong | 22:15 |
| septix | yes i am in my home follder, i just typed su and use root currently so i didnt have to type sudo everytime | 22:17 |
| Mamarok | well, in kubuntu you shouldn't use su | 22:17 |
| Mamarok | use sudo, eventually sudo -i if you don't want to have to enter your password repeatedly | 22:17 |
| septix | ok i will do that, thanks for the tipp. Here is the new output of a "fresh" try http://paste.frubar.net/15715 | 22:20 |
| Mamarok | same error as before, I guess it is about time to check the manufacturer's website | 22:22 |
| septix | sounds bad | 22:25 |
| Mamarok | no, maybe there is an update available intheir support | 22:26 |
| Mamarok | quit often the case | 22:27 |
| Mamarok | as the software delivered with the hardware is rarely up-to-date | 22:28 |
| septix | ok Mamarok i looked around little bit and might found something, have to reboot again, if your are still here later i will report you, if not thanks for your help so far | 22:42 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: you there? | 22:57 |
| Mamarok | rodnice: just | 22:59 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: so why wouldn't I use Ubuntu Customization Kit? | 22:59 |
| Mamarok | rodnice: I don't know it | 22:59 |
| Mamarok | can't tell | 23:00 |
| rodnice | ok | 23:00 |
| Mamarok | but I doubt you will spare time with that | 23:00 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: ok let's say I do have 3 identical machines I just bought and wanted to set up a small lab for the public or something... | 23:00 |
| === samaire is now known as samaire_ | ||
| === samaire_ is now known as samaire__ | ||
| === samaire__ is now known as samaire_ | ||
| rodnice | Mamarok: what's the prefered way of getting them to look identical? | 23:01 |
| Mamarok | rodnice: well, yes, but you are aware that the customization kit is just creating a Live CD with specifications you want | 23:01 |
| Mamarok | it will not install anything | 23:01 |
| Mamarok | so why not just backing up your data, do a fresh install of you new laptop and then copy the date you need back? | 23:02 |
| Mamarok | especially since a Live CD is probably not big enough for a whole system, let alone a complete HD | 23:02 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: yes, for one laptop, I'll do what you said. However, if I come into that down the line with like 4 desktop computers... | 23:02 |
| rodnice | yeah you're right... it always fits on a DVD | 23:03 |
| Mamarok | read my last line | 23:03 |
| Mamarok | my system for example would never fit on one DVD | 23:03 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: wow, so what do system admins do? Like places like public libraries where all the computers for the public need to be the same? | 23:04 |
| Mamarok | and if you are planing to install an identical system on 4 desktops, then use dd, much faster | 23:04 |
| Mamarok | well, those public computers are often equipped with a reduced set of applications, | 23:05 |
| Mamarok | so that would certainly even fit on a Life CD | 23:05 |
| Mamarok | all depends on what is the target | 23:05 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: ah, the dreaded dd, lol. I would need to read a pretty substantial book to begin using that? I don't mind, I'm just trying to figure out future options. | 23:06 |
| Mamarok | no, there are guides online, and man dd is the starting point | 23:06 |
| Mamarok | as dd is part of every bsic Linux installation | 23:07 |
| Mamarok | but if you want to be a sysadmin then there are a few books to read indeed, as it is a full-time job after all :) | 23:08 |
| rodnice | lol | 23:08 |
| rodnice | ok | 23:08 |
| rodnice | shoot... I was trying to take the Windows way out of this one lol | 23:09 |
| Mamarok | oh my, you will have a GUI that doesn't explain what is happening and you will have learned nothing | 23:09 |
| Mamarok | dd at least is not that doifficult to learn and you also learn something you will document for yourself and will be able to re-use | 23:10 |
| Mamarok | for free | 23:10 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: same advice I give my lazy friends but hate when it applies to me lol | 23:14 |
| rodnice | Mamarok: Somedays I don't wanna be the pilot... I just wanna pay the ticket and ride 1st class :-) | 23:14 |
| Mamarok | rodnice: yes, we are all lazy at times :) | 23:19 |
| Mamarok | ok, bedtime for me now, good night everyone | 23:19 |
| rodnice | gnight | 23:19 |
