[07:32] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:26] <James0r> what's up with kubuntuforums site?
[10:26] <James0r> getting Error 503 : Service Temporarily Unavailable
[10:30] <nv_> it's up on my end here
[11:27] <rwf2> does firefox not work with all kubuntu 13.10 or just not with certain hardware configurations?

[12:24] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:46] <excognac> hi all
[12:47] <excognac> how do i create a launcher/desktop shortcut for those who are not familiar with konsole? It's a graphical app, xhfs
[12:52] <apachelogger> excognac: not sure I understand the question... but I guess what you want is: dolphin -> right click -> create new -> link to application
[12:53] <BluesKaj> excognac. quicklaunch in panel tool box add widgets
[12:53] <BluesKaj> is one method for the panel
[13:07] <excognac> BluesKaj: apachelogger: I failed with both methods. I only could crate a <path>.desktop
[13:07] <excognac> http://pastebin.kde.org/po8yvhq8d
[13:09] <BluesKaj> excognac. can't you just drag and driop the app from the kmenu ?
[13:09] <excognac> BluesKaj: it's not in the kmenu
[13:10] <excognac> if i type it's name it won't find it
[13:10] <BluesKaj>  /usr/bin ?
[13:10] <excognac> it's there
[13:11] <BluesKaj> make it executable then drag it to the desktop and change theicon
[13:12] <excognac> oh thanks. so easy, would never think about this
[13:13] <excognac> is there anyway that non-administrators can use kde parttition manager to stop journaling on an external device file system
[13:14] <excognac> or any other package to do the same effect
[13:14] <BluesKaj> it can also be added to the kmenu apps if you right click on the kmenu and choose edit then choose new
[13:16] <BluesKaj> duno muc about that, i'm the only user on this pc
[13:16] <BluesKaj> muc=much
[13:18] <excognac> np thanks. just gotta create another user for colleagues who have even less idea about kubuntu than me and make sure they can handle hsf+ devices cos their fancy macbooks got no optical drive
[13:40] <excognac> ok, nevermind. i looked up how they can do it on their mac. btw anybody has experience with hsf+ partition writing?
[14:31] <ksinny> Riddell: ping
[14:32] <Riddell> hi ksinny!
[14:32] <ksinny> Riddell: hi, I wanted to ask that how we get po files for a package?
[14:33] <ksinny> Riddell: you told me last time but i completely forgot :/
[14:33] <Riddell> ksinny: you want to make a new release of p-m-c and want to get the .po files for it?
[14:33] <ksinny> Riddell: yeah, beta release
[14:34] <Riddell> ksinny: I used the releaseme script which is in kde git
[14:35] <Riddell> it's not superbly documented
[14:35] <Riddell> ksinny: but if you check out kde:releaseme there is a plasma-mediacenter.rb I added
[14:35] <Riddell> ksinny: check plasma-mediacenterrc and plasma-mediacenter.rb are up to date
[14:36] <Riddell> then run plasma-mediacenter.rb
[14:36] <Riddell> and it should do everything for you
[14:36]  * ksinny trying it
[14:46] <ksinny> Riddell: script has generated successfully various .po files
[14:47] <ksinny> thanks for your help :)
[14:48] <lordievader> Good afternoon.
[14:52] <mihai__> sal
[16:15] <rwc2> can anyone assist with getting the sound working in skype in saucy
[16:15] <rwc2> ie best ways to troubleshoot via the command line
[16:16] <rwc2> no audio playback
[16:16] <rwc2> but audio is fine elsewhere in x
[17:19] <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? :>
[17:25] <BluesKaj> locsmif_. 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 such
[17:25] <locsmif_> BluesKaj: there is no "default desktop settings" when I right click on the desktop :)
[17:26] <BluesKaj> locsmif_.which ubuntu flavour are you riunning?
[17:26] <locsmif_> BluesKaj: kubuntu
[17:27] <BluesKaj> locsmif_. try alt+s
[17:28] <locsmif_> VERSION="12.04.3 LTS, Precise Pangolin"
[17:28] <locsmif_> BluesKaj: alt+s doesn't do much
[17:29] <locsmif_> perhaps something screwed up
[17:29] <BluesKaj> locsmif_. alt+d , then alt+s
[17:30] <locsmif_> BluesKaj: okay that worked :)
[17:30] <BluesKaj> have you updated /upgraded lately, locsmif_ ?
[17:31] <locsmif_> Sure, all the time, but there's stuff in the pipeline, among them KDE packages
[17:31] <locsmif_> Nothing is in a broken state though
[17:32] <locsmif_> kde-runtime kde-runtime-data kdebase-runtime khelpcenter4
[17:32] <locsmif_> That's the kde stuff in the pipeline right this minute
[17:33] <BluesKaj> it's good to keep the backports open as well
[18:48] <andreaxxx> Hello! As of today (probably after updating some packages yesterday) audio doesn't work in my kubuntu 13.10 anymore.  Anyone with this similar issue?
[18:49] <BluesKaj> andreaxxx. open alsamixer in the terminal , what sound card and chip are listed in the upper left ?
[18:50] <andreaxxx> BluesKaj: Xonar DX / AV200
[18:52] <BluesKaj> andreaxxx. in the terminal ,  cat /proc/asound/modules , what's the output ?
[18:52] <andreaxxx> cat /proc/asound/modules
[18:52] <andreaxxx>  0 snd_virtuoso
[18:52] <andreaxxx>  1 snd_usb_audio
[18:54] <BluesKaj> andreaxxx. ok,  sudo modprobe snd_virtuoso , I presume this is the onboard sound driver and the usb audio is on a videocam or some such
[18:57] <BluesKaj> after running that command , andreaxxx , there will probly be no output if the driver loads properly , then a reboot is most likely needed
[18:57] <andreaxxx> BluesKaj: yes, no output to that command
[18:58] <BluesKaj> ok then , a reboot should bring your driver back up
[18:59] <andreaxxx> thank you, i'll try immediately!
[19:06] <andreaxxx> BluesKaj: unfortunately it's still not working
[19:08] <BluesKaj> in the terminal type ' alsamixer ', make sure the Master, PCM, Line & CD are all unmuted ,by using the "M" key'
[19:08] <BluesKaj> then turn those controls up to the max.
[19:08] <BluesKaj> andreaxxx.^
[19:09] <BluesKaj> if they ctrls are unmuted they'll show '00' in the little boxat the bottom
[19:10] <andreaxxx> BluesKaj: thanks they were muted... nothing was shown as muted in kmix though, thank you again!
[19:10] <BluesKaj> andreaxxx. is your sound working ok ?
[19:10] <andreaxxx> BluesKaj: yes, thank you!
[19:10] <BluesKaj> goob :)
[19:11] <BluesKaj> err good , andreaxxx :)
[19:17] <eagles0513875> hey guys how can i get my ssh key to work within dolphin as I am trying to sftp using dolphin into my server
[19:18] <aPpYe> Is 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 sou
[19:18] <aPpYe> nd 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.
[19:19] <aPpYe> I 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] <Okitain> aPpYe: maybe go to alsamixer?
[19:19] <aPpYe> When using alsamixer to change channel levels, it works fine, until I use kmix to adjust the volume.
[19:20] <aPpYe> then everything goes back to maximum in alsamixer
[19:21] <Okitain> Hm
[19:21] <aPpYe> also, 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.
[19:23] <aPpYe> hm.  pactl ... maybe I need to learn how to use that.
[19:25] <BluesKaj> aPpYe. try setting your levels in alsamixer in the terminal , then run sudo alsactl store , to make them stick
[19:25] <aPpYe> BluesKaj, yeah, that seems to have no effect.
[19:25] <aPpYe> pulseaudio seems to disregard it.
[19:40] <BluesKaj> aPpYe. got pavucontrol installed ?
[19:56] <locsmif_> BluesKaj: thanks for the help earlier, I appreciate it!
[20:01] <BluesKaj> locsmif_. np :)
[20:43] <excognac> hi all i bumped into a serious issue: I tried to make a new user account in kubuntu 12.04 (with ppa:kde) for my girlfriend, I logged out then she typed her user name in, root requested to changed password. then it froze. we tryed it multiply times, same thing happened. then i tried to get to text mode with ctrl+alt+f1 i couldn't log on my administrator account. back to grapical, just loading screen. why is this?
[20:44] <excognac> *to change her pwd
[20:55] <excognac> shall i try it from terminal?
[21:06] <excognac> I'll post this on #ubuntu, sorry
[21:23] <excognac> guys why e: this is really a joke? I created an account from terminal with sudo useradd <username> then i logged  out try to log it then: Failed session: gnome.
[21:28] <locsmif_> adduser
[21:28] <locsmif_> not useradd
[21:29] <locsmif_> gtg, sorry
[21:31] <BluesKaj> excognac. did you get that , the command is adduser , not useradd
[21:32] <excognac> BluesKaj: ouch, it still created a user with 0 privilages. so i gave them manually, brb
[21:34] <excognac> BluesKaj: any idea why gui doesn!t work? previously I did create another user
[21:34] <BluesKaj> which gui ?
[21:35] <excognac> System settings>User Management
[21:36] <BluesKaj> dunno about that
[21:36] <excognac> i create the new non-admin user, she has to change pwd upon first log on then during typing the new pwd, it freezes out
[21:37] <excognac> and cant get back to any type of session
[21:37] <BluesKaj> why change the pwd , she doesn't have one yet
[21:37] <excognac> she has one when i create the account. shall i try without it?
[21:38] <BluesKaj> she should create her own pwd , not change a nonexistent one ...she'll need a pwd
[21:38] <excognac> ok i try that way. brb
[22:04] <aPpYe> BluesKaj, sorry, I went to lunch.  yeah have tried pavucontrol, but the problem is that the notification icon for kmix resets everything to the same level when i bring the volume all the way up or down.
[23:22] <alphacrypt> hi, how to backup my kubuntu with live cd?
[23:23] <alphacrypt> onto fat32 would be nice
[23:40] <wafflejock> alphacrypt: you can use dd to copy a disk or partition
[23:41] <wafflejock> alphacrypt: if input file and of output file are your main options to get right then use bs 4M or up to whatever your HDD cache has
[23:41] <alphacrypt> problem is want to have it comfortably like newbie use
[23:41] <alphacrypt> none with terminalentering
[23:42] <wafflejock> alphacrypt: clonezilla is the easiest wrapper for dd I've used
[23:42] <alphacrypt> also possibility to get it restored
[23:42] <alphacrypt> sounds nice
[23:42] <MangaKaDenza> say, how do I remove all packages installed within a certian time period?
[23:42] <wafflejock> alphacrypt: still requires not fearing the command line cause you'll see it but it helps a lot
[23:42] <alphacrypt> is there just a live cd with it installed
[23:42] <wafflejock> alphacrypt: yup
[23:42] <alphacrypt> backup store would be hard disk
[23:42] <alphacrypt> perfect
[23:42] <wafflejock> alphacrypt: it's a ISO you can download
[23:42] <alphacrypt> big thanks
[23:42] <wafflejock> alphacrypt: np
[23:43] <wafflejock> MangaKaDenza: know you can use dpkg --get-selections to see what packages are installed but not sure about narrowing it down to a time period
[23:45] <wafflejock> MangaKaDenza: http://superuser.com/questions/6338/how-do-you-track-which-packages-were-installed-on-ubuntu-linux <- some potential locations for logs given there
[23:46] <alphacrypt> one bad problem more sorry
[23:46] <alphacrypt> how can I just define a shortcut to get on my desktop
[23:46] <alphacrypt> without opened windows just at once
[23:53] <wafflejock> alphacrypt: there is a show desktop widget... otherwise you can configure your keyboard shortcuts through the system settings believe you'll find the option in KWin
[23:53] <alphacrypt> ahhh big idea
[23:53] <alphacrypt> never used widgets that much not common with
[23:53] <alphacrypt> sounds also likeable
[23:54] <alphacrypt> yes like using that shortcuts
[23:54] <alphacrypt> hmm found something with right click on kstart, is it called like that, that start button
[23:54] <alphacrypt> Application Launcher Settup
[23:54] <alphacrypt> sorry Settup = Settings
[23:55] <alphacrypt> for sure its just described in wiki or so sorry
[23:56] <alphacrypt> hmm the widgets just can be placed on the desktop?
[23:56] <wafflejock> alphacrypt: yes widgets can be on the desktop or in the panels
[23:56] <wafflejock> alphacrypt: the one I was talking about you would add to a panel
[23:56] <alphacrypt> something strange just want that to get on the desktop but need it :D
[23:57] <alphacrypt> yes is it just possible?
[23:57] <alphacrypt> panel-workaround would be good thought about that
[23:57] <wafflejock> alphacrypt: yeah right click the panel and hit add widget
[23:57] <wafflejock> then type desktop in the box
[23:57] <wafflejock> you'll see show desktop
[23:57] <alphacrypt> yes got it
[23:58] <wafflejock> drag it to the panel and hold it there for a second till you see it stick
[23:58] <alphacrypt> but cant just add it to the panel
[23:58] <alphacrypt> to stupid shit :D
[23:58] <alphacrypt> ok new try
[23:58] <alphacrypt> no
[23:58] <alphacrypt> displayed symbol with a circle and a line in it as not possible
[23:59] <wafflejock> alphacrypt: when you do the add widget make sure you're doing it from the panel settings for the pane your adding it to
[23:59] <alphacrypt> maybe make wrong
[23:59] <wafflejock> alphacrypt: also you need to get it in between other stuff on the paenl
[23:59] <alphacrypt> Panel Tool Box
[23:59] <alphacrypt> + Add Widgets right
