BluesKajHi all12:24
excognachi all12:46
excognachow do i create a launcher/desktop shortcut for those who are not familiar with konsole? It's a graphical app, xhfs12:47
apacheloggerexcognac: not sure I understand the question... but I guess what you want is: dolphin -> right click -> create new -> link to application12:52
BluesKajexcognac. quicklaunch in panel tool box add widgets12:53
BluesKajis one method for the panel12:53
excognacBluesKaj: apachelogger: I failed with both methods. I only could crate a <path>.desktop13:07
excognachttp://pastebin.kde.org/po8yvhq8d13:07
BluesKajexcognac. can't you just drag and driop the app from the kmenu ?13:09
excognacBluesKaj: it's not in the kmenu13:09
excognacif i type it's name it won't find it13:10
BluesKaj /usr/bin ?13:10
excognacit's there13:10
BluesKajmake it executable then drag it to the desktop and change theicon13:11
excognacoh thanks. so easy, would never think about this13:12
excognacis there anyway that non-administrators can use kde parttition manager to stop journaling on an external device file system13:13
excognacor any other package to do the same effect13:14
BluesKajit can also be added to the kmenu apps if you right click on the kmenu and choose edit then choose new13:14
BluesKajduno muc about that, i'm the only user on this pc13:16
BluesKajmuc=much13:16

locsmif_Hello. I cannot for the life of me find the place where to change the desktop background. Been through the documentation, all the settings windows, can't find it. Help? :>17:19
BluesKajlocsmif_. right click on the desktop , choose default desktop settings , then either choose one of the available wall papers , or "open"to browse to a pictures file or some such17:25
locsmif_BluesKaj: there is no "default desktop settings" when I right click on the desktop :)17:25
BluesKajlocsmif_.which ubuntu flavour are you riunning?17:26
locsmif_BluesKaj: kubuntu17:26
BluesKajlocsmif_. try alt+s17:27
locsmif_VERSION="12.04.3 LTS, Precise Pangolin"17:28
locsmif_BluesKaj: alt+s doesn't do much17:28
locsmif_perhaps something screwed up17:29
BluesKajlocsmif_. alt+d , then alt+s17:29
locsmif_BluesKaj: okay that worked :)17:30
BluesKajhave you updated /upgraded lately, locsmif_ ?17:30
locsmif_Sure, all the time, but there's stuff in the pipeline, among them KDE packages17:31
locsmif_Nothing is in a broken state though17:31
locsmif_kde-runtime kde-runtime-data kdebase-runtime khelpcenter417:32
locsmif_That's the kde stuff in the pipeline right this minute17:32
BluesKajit's good to keep the backports open as well17:33

andreaxxxHello! As of today (probably after updating some packages yesterday) audio doesn't work in my kubuntu 13.10 anymore.  Anyone with this similar issue?18:48
BluesKajandreaxxx. open alsamixer in the terminal , what sound card and chip are listed in the upper left ?18:49
andreaxxxBluesKaj: Xonar DX / AV20018:50
BluesKajandreaxxx. in the terminal ,  cat /proc/asound/modules , what's the output ?18:52
andreaxxxcat /proc/asound/modules18:52
andreaxxx 0 snd_virtuoso18:52
andreaxxx 1 snd_usb_audio18:52
BluesKajandreaxxx. ok,  sudo modprobe snd_virtuoso , I presume this is the onboard sound driver and the usb audio is on a videocam or some such18:54
BluesKajafter running that command , andreaxxx , there will probly be no output if the driver loads properly , then a reboot is most likely needed18:57
andreaxxxBluesKaj: yes, no output to that command18:57
BluesKajok then , a reboot should bring your driver back up18:58
andreaxxxthank you, i'll try immediately!18:59
andreaxxxBluesKaj: unfortunately it's still not working19:06
BluesKajin the terminal type ' alsamixer ', make sure the Master, PCM, Line & CD are all unmuted ,by using the "M" key'19:08
BluesKajthen turn those controls up to the max.19:08
BluesKajandreaxxx.^19:08
BluesKajif they ctrls are unmuted they'll show '00' in the little boxat the bottom19:09
andreaxxxBluesKaj: thanks they were muted... nothing was shown as muted in kmix though, thank you again!19:10
BluesKajandreaxxx. is your sound working ok ?19:10
andreaxxxBluesKaj: yes, thank you!19:10
BluesKajgoob :)19:10
BluesKajerr good , andreaxxx :)19:11
eagles0513875hey guys how can i get my ssh key to work within dolphin as I am trying to sftp using dolphin into my server19:17
aPpYeIs there a way to tell pulseaudio to maintain a ratio that I set between different channels in a surround setup?  Often, using the kmix notification icon, if I mousewheel up or down on it, the channels all go to the same volume, causing dialogue (the center channel) to be too quiet in relation to the other channels.  This causes me to turn the volume up to hear dialogue, and then back down when background music or loud surround sou19:18
aPpYend events occur in the movie.  I am always fighting with it and am hoping there is a way to tell the system to make sure that the center channel is always louder than the rest, regardless of where the master volume is.19:18
aPpYeI was able to do this with pure alsa a few years back, and I still have all my configs for that, but I like that pulseaudio just works out of the box for surround sound, except for this one problem.19:19
OkitainaPpYe: maybe go to alsamixer?19:19
aPpYeWhen using alsamixer to change channel levels, it works fine, until I use kmix to adjust the volume.19:19
aPpYethen everything goes back to maximum in alsamixer19:20
OkitainHm19:21
aPpYealso, when running a movie in full screen, and if I just want to adjust the volume, I want to use the buttons on my keyboard, not exit full screen, open alsamixer, etc.19:21
aPpYehm.  pactl ... maybe I need to learn how to use that.19:23
=== Jikan is now known as Jikai
BluesKajaPpYe. try setting your levels in alsamixer in the terminal , then run sudo alsactl store , to make them stick19:25
aPpYeBluesKaj, yeah, that seems to have no effect.19:25
aPpYepulseaudio seems to disregard it.19:25
