brokererhi, somebody can tell me where is the amarok's source-code my system is kubuntu 13.1002:44
hololightTwo questions: When I open a magnet link for a torrent, it opens in ktorrent just fine and downloads; but in the notifications area it shows 'Examining' which never goes away (even after the download is finished)03:03
rianavok. and?03:04
hololightThat is normal behavior?03:04
hololightnot 'finished' or anything....03:05
hololightwith a 'stop' or 'pause' button shown next to an empty progress bar03:05
hololightthe second question has to do with virtuoso-t maxing out the cpu... I know it is needed for file indexing (which i like), anyway to make it behave itself? or is my only option to get rid of it03:06
rianavdoes this happen with other user accounts on the machine?03:07

MySystemHello i need some help to find out what happens to my kde and hopefully reverse the changes.Short system information:Kubuntu 13.10 with newest available kernel for amd64 and nvidia graphic running on nvidia driver(not the open source).  What i've done: Was trying to get my DungeonKeeper2 to run with PlayOnLinux.The last try killed my kde, the only thing i saw was a big cursor(low resolution effect), the nice new blue dots in the left and right upper corn06:46

BluesKajhi MySystem12:20
MySystemand hello all the others i have a problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/6502917/12:20
BluesKajwhich nvidia card ?12:22
MySystemGeforce GTX 550 TI on nvidia driver version 304.10812:23
forgeausnvidia is a problem for me too I get nothing absoultely black during boot ...12:25
BluesKajon13.10 ?12:25
forgeaushave to start in recovery mode...12:25
BluesKajMySystem.^12:25
forgeausyes 13.1012:25
forgeauswas working before dist upgrade12:25
MySystemalso 13.10 thought i wrote it12:25
forgeausfixed my boot issues with grub (went to grub2) but no ptolemy is it? no X (unless X runs but I just don't see it)12:26
BluesKajMySystem.  13.10 as well ?12:26
MySystemyes blueskaj12:26
forgeausif I run in recovery mode I can get into my kdesktop though12:26
forgeausjust have to log into a virtual terminal and startx;startkde12:26
MySystemforgeaus which driver the opensource or the one from nvidia12:27
forgeausI used jokey-kde and it didn't matter12:27
forgeausI tried both no difference once it changed unless the change didn't go through12:28
forgeausbut the selected one is different12:28
forgeausso I'm assuming it worked12:28
forgeausactually I don't think it did now, I'll try loading the restricted one again12:28
BluesKajMySystem. latest proptietary driver should be the 3.1912:28
MySystemwhith my low experience i would try to uninstall and reinstall the driver and let it regenerate the xorg.conf (if it exists) but iam also here for help and not a pro12:29
forgeausI don't even kow if its the driver that is the problem though12:29
MySystemok thats interessting but can this cause all the kde settings loss?12:30
MySystembut i will download and try it elseway12:30
forgeausI don't have a settings loss12:30
BluesKajin kmenu>apps>system>additional drivers , there should be some choices , run the cursor over each one to find the 3,19 then choose it to install, it will auto remove the old driver while installing12:32
MySystemthe cursor that would be a nice feature *smile* but i try to get there keyboard helps12:33
MySystemyes i know forgeaus be i have as i said iam also here for help12:35
MySystemsry i should start writing reciever names for text12:36
BluesKajthe 3.19 should be the nvidia-current driver for most nvidia cards on saucy , you can do sudo apt-get install nvidia-current in the terminal or the shell/tty , ctrl+alt+F1 - F6 . this goes for you too forgeaus12:37
MySystemnice idea blueskaj would be much easier12:38
forgeausok I'll try it12:38
forgeausthis gui installer has stalled anyway12:38
forgeausand I don't particularly feel like rebooting right now12:38
=== gilbert is now known as goodtime
BluesKajforgeaus. MySystem , once the driver installs , a reboot will be required12:40
forgeausyeah I know12:40
MySystemi know that would be no problem12:41
MySystemfirst apt have to be rdy12:41
forgeausbut I'm multitasking with some other stuff... so right now just isn't a good time to reboot thats all12:41
MySystemok its rdy iam going for restart see you in a min12:43
MySystemback but for some reason the old driver is still active (used the graphical version additional driver will now try via konsole direct apt12:51
BluesKajMySystem. wait12:52
MySystemok i took a look in aptitude there is an "i" for installed at beginning of the nvidia-319* line12:53
MySystembut also a c bevor nvidia-304* (the old one)12:53
BluesKajfirst run this in the terminal. glxinfo | grep OpenGL , the installed driver will show beside "version string "12:55
=== soee_ is now known as soee
forgeausfor me it returns :12:56

forgeausOpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 319.6012:56
forgeausand a few other lines that don't seem relevant unless you want them12:57
BluesKajforgeaus. ok , then you should be fine , unless there is sometrhing else amiss12:57
soeegood morning :)12:58
MySystemhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6504048/ ok looks good12:58
MySystemhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6504048/12:58
BluesKajok MySystem you should be fibe too12:59
BluesKajfine12:59
forgeausshould be12:59
forgeausI think all the nvidia packages (or thsoe they point to if they're meta) are marked as installed anyway13:00
MySystemok thats good now i have the new nvidia driver ever good to have but the problems ignore that13:00
forgeausyeah the settings thing sounds like a different problem from mine13:01
forgeausand neither of us sounds like we had graphic driver problems anyway lol13:01
BluesKajmucked up kde needs fixing, reinstall kubuntu-desktop13:02
forgeauskubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.13:02
MySystemi hope that was not the solution for me blueskaj else *unhappy*13:02
forgeausMySystem, don't be unhappy, its not BluesKaj's fault,13:03
forgeaushe's trying to assist you ... remember13:03
MySystemthat is clear blueskaj is the best13:03
forgeausit would be nice if it helped admittedly ...13:03
MySystemhe is the one who ever helped me think he now i like him13:04
forgeausI'm not going to know until I reset which I think I'm almost about to do13:04
MySystemunhappy because of the fear to loose more kde settings be reinstalling13:04
MySystembe= at13:04
forgeausMySystem, maybe #KDE people might have more idea about this, there was problems early on with KDE4 not remembering settings13:05
BluesKajMySystem. do you have the kubuntu backports enabled in muon or sources.list ?13:05
rwc2what is expected to be quicker: scrubing my system of the ati/amd drivers i want to uninstall, or reinstalling the OS13:05
MySystemdont thnik so blueskaj but will look and post13:06
BluesKajthe former , rwc213:06
rwc2BluesKaj, i've followed some instructions found on google, but they still remain13:06
forgeaushow do I add backports now?13:07
MySystemhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6504079/ no i dont see backports in sources13:08
BluesKajrwc2. if you have a particular driver in mind and ready to install , usually the installer will auto remove the old driver13:08
forgeaussources looks all different13:08
forgeausthan what I remember13:08
rwc2rwc2, i just want to regress to the default kubuntu driver13:09
rwc2BluesKaj, ^^13:09
MySystemoh iam blind13:09
MySystemblueskaj there is an entry http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu saucy-backports13:10
BluesKajnever mind , not a good idea, for regular users , the backports are for devs and bleeding edge users , sometimes I forget ..sorry forgeaus and MySystem13:11
BluesKajMySystem. yes those the official source backports13:12
MySystemok so this entry isnt my result should i go on with reinstalling kubuntu-desktop13:12
BluesKajyes13:13
MySystemok do you have a cmd for me because synaptic without mouse isnt nice and apt-get i only knew install remove but no reinstall also think i have to shut down the kde first13:14
MySystemsry that i want this but brwosing without cursor also isnt nice and its not the time for more experiments13:15
forgeausugh synaptic, I prefer muon13:16
forgeausnote: I have similar issues with my mouse but only in Gnome13:16
BluesKajMySystem. sudo apt-get install -reinstall kubuntu-desktop13:16
forgeausor unity I think13:16
MySystemi hate muon *smile* to userfriendly13:16
=== bewees is now known as esing
forgeausit works fine with my KDE mouse theme though13:16
MySystemthx blueskaj13:16
forgeausthere is such a thing as too user-friendly?13:17
forgeausuh blues I think that just installs the metapackage alone doesn't it?13:17
forgeausnot its dependancies13:17
=== PasNox_ is now known as PasNox
forgeausunless theres missing dependancies taht is13:18
MySystemdont think so forgeaus but i dont like the way it works it looks and also had some problems with it since the 13.10 updates13:18
forgeausfair enough I guess MySystem I haven't had such problems personally so can't exactly say13:18
BluesKajsynaptic works well in ubnuntu , but i found it unstable in kubuntu for some reason , anyway muon is mature enough now to be reliable in my experience13:18
forgeauspoor old adept lol13:19
forgeausI miss kpackage13:19
BluesKajforgeaus. if you have any suggestions that can help here , feel free to do so13:20
forgeausI used to be able to mess with some slackware packages (simple straight binary only ones) and add them to kubuntu without problems lol13:20
forgeausBluesKaj: no eye deer ...13:20
MySystemmy apt have done this cmd in a few seconds blueskaj reboot now?13:20
BluesKajrelogin should suffice13:21
MySystemk13:21
MySystemthen be back13:21
BluesKajfor I think adept sort of morphed into muon iirc13:23
BluesKajforgeaus.^13:23
forgeausyeah pretty much seems to have13:23
forgeauskpackagekit or something like that was inbetween ...13:23
BluesKajyeah I used synaptic for yrs13:24
forgeausnow that seems like some kinda backend or something ...13:24
forgeausone of the dystros had a kynaptic13:24
forgeauslol distros if I can type it right13:24
BluesKajwell they all use dpkg anyway , it's the base13:24
forgeausyeah13:24
forgeausapt, aptitude, etc are all just different levels of front end to dpkg13:25
forgeausmuon being a gui one13:26
forgeausbut kpackage was different in a way, because it let you hold multiple types of repos (like emerge, rpm, tgz, possubly conary, etc)13:26
forgeausmore of a gui frontend to smart (which in itself was all that)13:27
forgeauswb MySystem13:27
MySystemthx13:27
MySystemsadly i dont see any changes13:27
MySystembut i stay optimistic its linux there is one or more way13:29
forgeausso maybe its a security issue? or settings are getting rewritten back? either that or not changing in the first place, or changing for the wrong user?... just throwing out ideas...13:29
forgeaus(I wonder if he xepyhrs to a root user desktop if the changes are there or not? )13:30
forgeausjust a thought, but I'm not sure it would be helpful13:30
MySystemthx iam happy for any idea , wrong user i dont think so there isnt another normal kde user like uid 100113:30
forgeausMySystem, yeah but you are making changes right? those changes aren't being kept, or aren't being written, I was just wondering if the changes went somewhere, just not to the right place?...13:31
forgeausor is the right place just too well security-protected to be adjusted?...13:32
MySystemthat is an interessting idea because i haven't tried to change settings so i dont know if they are kept or not the only setting i changes was nvidia graphic to get view on my default monitor but these are written to xorg.conf by nvidia13:33
forgeausstill kde settings like icon themes and stuff are probably somewhere buried in a .file or place under ~ (as in /home/<user>)13:33
forgeauswell settings in /etc are systemwide so require root priviliges to change13:34
MySystemyes nvidia driver asks for root access13:34
forgeausin fact any settings outside of the whole ~ subtree should require root to alter13:34
MySystemi will have a look in dolphin at the kde settings folder13:35
forgeausbut many user kde settings are just for the user so somewehre inside the ~ subtree13:35
forgeaushehe I use krusader ... never really liked the switch to dolphin13:35
forgeausthe whole breadcrumbs bar just ruined it for me... felt like it was trying to be nautilus ...13:36
MySystemyes /home/[user]/.kde/share/config13:38
forgeaussounds like a reasonable place to put them yeah13:39
MySystemif iam not missinterpreting this the old settings are still there, i searched for a config file where i know what i set and what isnt present atm so i opened kwinrulesrc and found some settings like my synaptic have to start on desktop 413:39
MySystemdimensions positions of other which i set are also known to me13:40
forgeausso whats that mean?13:41
forgeausits got a different set for each virtual desktop? or is desktop 4 something else?13:41
MySystemi think my old "lost" settings are still there where they have to be but iam not 100% sure13:42
forgeaus(I named mine)13:42
forgeausso if they're still there why aren't they being used when you log in is the question then right?13:42
MySystemwhich config saves the backgrounds13:42
BluesKajMySystem. you shouldn't try to modify kde conf files directly , that's what system settings gui is for13:43
MySystemgood question they are at the right place (at my knowlegde) owner and group are my username and right are user rw group and others none13:43
forgeausI'm not sure the desktop 4 thing is helpful though if you've used synaptic and its start on desktop 4 then wouldn't whatever other changes you made to desktop 4 (your default?) would go through ...13:43
forgeausbesides I think its only the background and activites that you can set to be desktop-specific isn't it? ...13:44
forgeausI doubt you'd be able to set a while different kdestyle or cursor set etc. to each desktop ...13:45
MySystemok a test with synaptic shows it starts at desktop 4 and another thing happens had the file opened in kate and it recognize that the file has changed as i started synaptic13:46
MySystemyes background activities widgets and was set for each kdestyle and cursor i think you're right that this isnt possible for each desktop13:47
forgeausso if you change something global it should work for that user ...13:48
forgeaus(or confine backgrounds/widget sets to NOT be desktop specific - making those changes global too - for that user in the desktop sense anyway) ....13:49
forgeauswouldn't half life 3 make it 1.5th of a life? lol kidding13:51
MySystem*smile*14:03
MySystemiam looking over the config which one i can test change, have to be some file with atm missing settings, also sorted by file change date but without a cursor it takes a bit longer14:03
MySystemshort afk to go for a smoke14:04
lordievaderGood afternoon.14:05

lordievaderDoing ok, having a fight with Window's portproxy rules.14:08
lordievaderBut I do have mint tea, so that makes up for it I guess.14:08
lordievaderMySystem: Make a new user and see if that new user has the same problems.14:10
MySystemthen i hope it make it for you , and a new user interessting idea but this one doesnt have settings set that can get lost, by the way settings i make now seems to take effekt and stay14:11
forgeausbut does it stay between sessions?14:12
forgeauscurrent session is fine, between sessions is another matter14:12
MySystemfor this i have to leave you short be back in a min14:12

MySystemok i tested with widget because these are all lost and the test widget is still there14:20
MySystema question what is lightdm because i think to restart this service was my fault14:22
lordievaderMySystem: Lightdm is your displaymanager/login screen.14:23
MySystemok can someone imagine what happens if i restart lightdm while kde is logged on with my user and runnning14:24
lordievaderMySystem: Since those programs depend on X and X is killed, the programs that depend on it are killed too.14:25

ovrflw0xso what's the conclusion?15:16
forgeausI like how kde feels so integrated with kubuntu15:16
forgeauswith something like PCLinuxOS it looks and feels more like kde slapped on top of another distro15:16
forgeauswhile kubuntu is similar (ie kde slapped on top of Ubuntu - currently15:17
forgeausit doesn't feel separate15:17
forgeaus(that being said I think PC-BSD does an ok job of KDE on BSD ... )15:18
forgeausmaybe thats because back when I used PCLinuxOS there were KDE alternatives taht weren't taken advantage of, like x-chat instead of something like konversation or quassel15:19
forgeausand the desktop wallpaper was a PCLinuxOS specific one that didn't have any KDE feel...15:20

dbc254bought an external drive enclosure for my 2.5 laptop drive on ebay. Works just fine on Windows machines. Linux? Not so much.18:03
dbc254What am I doing wrong. Formatted using NTFS. Little 300gb drive.18:04
dbc254usb powered, no external power supply18:04
* aPpYe is afraid to walk away from his computer18:07
aPpYedbc254, I would start with a standard fat32 format for an external drive and see what happens from there.18:09
aPpYeoh ... 300gb18:09
dbc254Is there a limitation?18:10
dbc254I went with NTFS, because of the 4gig limitation of adding large files.18:10
dbc254I can't even see the drive on Kubuntu. Have a windows machine at work, so I have to take the drive to work to reformat.18:11
aPpYe32gb officially, but I have formatted larger.  Most of the time usb drives appear as /dev/sd* on my system.  NTFS should work though.  Do you see any additional items (by typing ls -al /dev/sd*) before/after you plug the device in?18:12
aPpYebut the 4gb limitation is something that cannot be gotten around with fat3218:13
aPpYealso, you could try installing ntfs-3g, but I have not played with external ntfs drives under linux much.  I know I have gotten it to work before.18:14
aPpYebut I think that should already be installed on a standard kubuntu ...18:15
aPpYeso ... from konsole, try ls -al /dev/sd* ... then plug in the device and run the same command and see if any other /dev/sd* items appear.18:16
aPpYeovrflw0x, I am worried that you had some magic answer for me ...18:18
aPpYeand I missed ti.18:18
dbc254kubuntu can't see it. .   I had no idea there was a 32gb external limitation. I have two external drives running NTFS. One was store-bought and one was an enclosure for a 3.5 SATA drive with power supply. This litle usb only drive enclosure is for a 2.5. Both of the aforementioned drives are 500gb18:26
dbc254I thought it was this cheap enclosure until I took it to work and it works just fine. . .18:27
aPpYeno ... 32gb limitation on fat32, according to microsoft, no limitation on external drives.18:28

aPpYeI am building a KDE system from Ubuntu mini 13.10.  I have apt-get's Install-Recommends feature disabled.  If I build the system WITH recommends, everything is fine.  If I build WITHOUT, the Languages tab under Locale in System Settings is stuck with a progress meter that hangs at 0% forever.18:32
