xtrizanyone can guide me in about rebranding kubuntu ? I have done almost everything, only left is the name of kubuntu that comes on the kde menu and in the muon software centre ?04:07
valoriewhat do you mean, rebranding?04:10
xtrizvalorie, i am creating custom distro based on kubuntu so i need to remove the kubuntu logos and name.04:16
valoriehuh04:17
xtrizvalorie, what happened ?04:17
valorieI have no clue, but you might see how other custom distros do it04:18
valorieI assume they create their own logos and sub them04:18
xtrizvalorie, are their any kubuntu derivatives ?04:18
valoriehave you looked at sites like http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-a-kde-live-cd-dvd-using-kubuntu ?04:19
valoriesure, I know netrunner is one04:19
valorieand I guess Mint04:20
valoriethis is the official guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DerivativeDistroHowto04:20
xtrizvalorie, that link will be useful, i can check netrunner and how they have done.04:21
valoriewhy do you want a completely custom distro?04:21
xtrizvalorie, i want to  make my own distro will customized settings.04:23
yofelxtriz: most of the branding is done by kubuntu-settings, so you'll want to replace that with a copy of your defaults04:30
xtrizyofel, great checking that out04:30
xtrizyofel, all the kubuntu related branding are in this packaged ?04:32
yofelnot sure if it's all, but most of the desktop stuff is in there (like the menu logo etc.)04:35
xtrizyofel, cool :)04:36
xtrizyofel, figured everything out, now only one thing left is that, in muon software center do i have to modify the package so as to remove the provided by Kubuntu ?04:56

xtrizfor gnome their is dconf editor , for kde is their something similar to it ?05:48
valoriextriz: it looks like gnome's is actuall gconf editor05:53
valorieand dconf is more generic05:54
xtrizvalorie, ok05:54
valoriealthough a lot of that is set in systemsettings05:55
xtrizto cuztomize kde themes is a prob know as it doesn't have dconf or gconf editor.05:55
valoriedid you see this? http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/Theme05:56
tsimpsonthere is also kreadconfig and kwriteconfig, but those are not as advanced as gconf or dconf05:57
xtrizvalorie, that is quite useful, i can directly place the themes under the respective folders and tada it's done :D05:58
xtriztsimpson, checking those out.05:59
valorieKDE is created to be customizeable05:59
=== jalcine is now known as jalcine_
xtrizvalorie, in a similar way i can customize application appearance and workspace appearance too right ?06:02
valorieyes06:03
valoriemost apps use the themes you choose06:03
valoriesome might have their own theming, but that is usually independent stuff06:03
xtrizvalorie, what is the general directory under which all this options are stored ?06:04
valorieI don't know; isn't it covered in the theming tut?06:04
xtriz/usr/share /06:04
xtrizgot the directory /share/app/desktoptheme06:06
valorieI've never done what you are attempting06:07
* valorie is pretty satisfied with the presets06:07
xtrizvalorie, ok :)06:07
valorieexcept desktop photos06:07

frostedHey guys, what is the command , if I want to say have when I press the windows key it opens the kick off apllication launcher ?10:03
frosted 10:03
lordievaderfrosted: The windows key (super key) is a modifier like shift or ctrl, so the keyboard shortcut won't be the windows key alone (unless you apply hacks).10:04
lordievadera modifier key*10:04
frostedlordievar okay thats fine but if I want a keyboard shortcut to open the kickoff aplication launcher, what is the command I need to enter to open the menu ?10:05
frostedlordievader okay thats fine but if I want a keyboard shortcut to open the kickoff aplication launcher, what is the command I need to enter to open the menu ?10:06
lordievaderfrosted: Thought there was a preset for it but I cannot find it, let me look through qdbus.10:07
frostedI thought there was one as well. but after I installed I have nothing on my panel had to add everything manually. usually things like system status is atleast there10:08
lordievaderfrosted: Ah, found it, when you right click the menu and hit Application Launcher Settings -> Keyboard shortcut, you can set the keyboard shortcut.10:14

micha_Hi, my copy and paste does not work anymore in any application for my main user account. Which programms/settings influence it?11:32
micha_I tried to stop klipper, but to no avail11:32
Soru_raspberryberet: It's a pain in the ass becaue I use it at class and sometimes I do ctrl-alt L but I don't remember that it does not work and I leave my computer unblocked! damnit haha11:33
micha_one exception is dolphin, when copying files, they are copied as text, i.e. when I copy-paste a file, dolphin asks me for a filename to store the text (which consists of the original filename)11:34
raspberryberetSoru_: same to me here brother11:34
* Soru_ restarts11:37
micha_It must be some settings in .kde/share/config. Any idea which influences the copy/paste behaviour?11:38

xtrizwhy is that some services get started as a root and some do not ?16:40
xtrizany specific reasons ?16:40
lordievaderxtriz: Probably permission.16:41
xtrizlordievader, but i am already doing it as a root16:41
lordievaderxtriz: What do you mean?16:41
xtrizSince the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an16:41
xtrizUpstart job, you may also use the status(8) utility, e.g. status cups16:41
xtrizwhen i am doing /etc/init.d/cups start i am getting the above error.16:41
xtrizi am doing this as a root16:42
lordievaderxtriz: sudo service cups start16:42
xtrizlordievader, i am customizing kubuntu, so i am doing all this things under chroot.16:42
xtrizcreating custom live cd16:43
lordievaderxtriz: Ok, then why would you need to start the cups service?16:43
xtrizlordievader, i has to start ssh to transfer certain files, so i was just curious whether i can start cups or not.16:44
=== jalcine_ is now known as jalcine
xtriznow this error has made me curious to know what goes under the hood such that cups service don't get started as a root.16:44
lordievaderxtriz: What does "service cups status" say?16:44
xtrizlordievader, nothing16:45
xtrizand service cups starts also states nothing, just returns the prompt back.16:45
lordievaderI believe that it should still start even if you use /etc/init.d/<something>, it just says that Ubuntu uses upstart.16:45
xtrizlordievader, hope so, let me check that out.16:45
lordievaderxtriz: Well it might be the chroot thingie that upstart isn't running or something. Never tried to start a service from within a chroot.16:46
xtrizlordievader, if i just copy paste the various config files ( themes ) of my current kubuntu install will that work ?16:46
lordievaderxtriz: Themes of what?16:47
xtrizi have customized panels and window decorations16:47
lordievaderThey will probably work, just that you need to figure out how to modify the config files.16:48

kaddity16:49
lordievaderxtriz: Same thing, find out how to modify the config files.16:50
xtrizlordievader, where can i find the config files of those ?16:51
xtrizgoogling for each options.16:52
lordievaderxtriz: That is the tricky part, the default user doesn't exist (yet). It is made by casper during the boot process. So what I think you should do, is make a new user, hack the part where the default user is made. And then change the config files.16:52
lordievaderxtriz: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization#Removing_the_.28Casper.29_Autologin16:53

=== spawn[dead] is now known as spawn57
xtrizlordievader, you meant to say is that remove the auto login and add a user, and under it i copy all the config files ?16:58
lordievaderxtriz: Something like that yes.16:59
xtrizlordievader, is that possible to create a setup such that the config files are applied automatically to the new user created ?17:04
xtrizcan i do that i can copy the complete config files with my desired files ?17:05
xtrizs/copy/replace ?17:05
lordievaderxtriz: Possibly, not a way I know of though...17:05
xtrizlordievader, or can i do that in chroot , get the GUI run and then select the appropriate options ?17:07
lordievaderDon't think that last one is a very plausible one.17:09
