| Phoenixz | Is it possible to install kubuntu on a usb drive? that is to say, I have a motherboard, no harddrive, one flash drive that contains the kubuntu install, and one target USB.. is this possible, and would this just work the same as installing on a harddrive? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | Phoenixz: you can do it, but it will not be the same | 00:05 |
| Phoenixz | valorie: okay. what would be different? | 00:06 |
| valorie | it will be slower | 00:06 |
| valorie | I'm confused though -- are you saying you have a flash drive AND a USB? | 00:06 |
| valorie | or that the flash drive is the USB key | 00:07 |
| Phoenixz | valorie: ah :) well yeah, this is for a system that will be dedicated to one task that will not require much disk access so | 00:07 |
| Phoenixz | valorie: errr, no, both are USB drives | 00:07 |
| valorie | ok | 00:08 |
| Phoenixz | thing is that from what I see, I would not need a harddrive, afaik, it should be able to run from USB directly, not?.. I need to build 20 of these, so why waste money on 20 harddrives if they wont even be used (other then to just boot up the OS) | 00:08 |
| valorie | so you'll run from one, and use the other for storage/files? | 00:08 |
| valorie | USB is slow | 00:08 |
| valorie | that's the bit that will slow everything, but as you say, if you don't need much drive access, it will be fine | 00:09 |
| valorie | just slow to start, and some fiddling to get things to save | 00:09 |
| Phoenixz | valorie: well no | 00:09 |
| Phoenixz | again, all I need is to have kubuntu installed and having it start up straight to desktop, and start one new process.. that process wont do much disk access (if any at all), so all it basically has to do is.. boot.. start os, start kde, go to desktop, start program, and it runs.. | 00:10 |
| Phoenixz | ah, sorry, I was behind with reading your replies :) | 00:10 |
| Phoenixz | valorie: but then | 00:10 |
| Phoenixz | if I start the computer, I have both the kubuntu install USB and the target USB in there.. I could boot from the kubuntu install USB, and then install it on the target USB just as if it were a harddrive, right? | 00:11 |
| valorie | yes | 00:11 |
| valorie | you'll want to remove it once the install is done though | 00:11 |
| valorie | or you'll always get the live session | 00:12 |
| valorie | if you have 20 to build, might be worth your while to write a DVD | 00:12 |
| valorie | which as I recall is a bit faster to boot | 00:13 |
| valorie | now, i've never tried this, so i can't guarantee it will work, but i don't see why it wouldn't | 00:13 |
| Phoenixz | valorie: yeah, the install USB will be removed after.. What I do then is modify the install, make sure the right things are installed, build a script that iwll start up everything, then shut it down, and make 20 copies of that USB... | 00:13 |
| Phoenixz | valorie: well.. that would require 20 DVD drives... :) These are bare systems and I'd like to add as little as possible | 00:14 |
| valorie | I see | 00:14 |
| valorie | also, I'm stuck in the past maybe | 00:14 |
| valorie | lol | 00:14 |
| Phoenixz | valorie: yeah, I know the feeling.. I kinda ran into this USB thing by accident, just suddenly wondering why I was so stuck with "it has to be a harddrive" | 00:15 |
| valorie | I usually just burn to a USB, so I'm not totally stuck in the past | 00:16 |

| Taduro | apachelogger: do you know where the kmail configs are saved? | 09:02 |
| skramer_ | Hi! I just discovered that Dolphin does not tell me about files I opened today or yesterday. It shows some files in "This Month" and "Last Month", but by far not all files that I had touched during that time. | 09:02 |
| skramer_ | Am I missing some config? How could I fix that? | 09:02 |
| Taduro | Does somebody know where he kmail configuration files are located? | 09:09 |
| === bdscvr1 is now known as bdscvr | ||
| apachelogger | Taduro: depends on the config... if it's actually kmail then ~.kde/share/config, if you mean email account settings then something like ~/.config/akonadi | 09:20 |
| Taduro | apachelogger: I don't remember my email account, that's why I searching the config... | 09:24 |
| apachelogger | Taduro: try kate ~/.kde/share/config/akonadi_imap* | 09:26 |
| apachelogger | if nothing's in there possibly config/mailtransports or config/emaildefaults | 09:26 |
| Taduro | apachelogger: but that will not show me the password | 09:28 |

| TheRealCrell | Hi all. I recently updated to 13.10. My network manager applet is now missing, however. While I can connect on wired, it means I can't look up any of my VPNs to activate, or wireless networks. Any idea how I get it back? | 16:59 |
| TheRealCrell | (The little googling I did only found "applet missing, can't connect at all" type problems.) | 16:59 |
| soee | TheRealCrell: click on Systary properties | 17:00 |
| soee | and check if icon Networmanager is chekced to be show | 17:01 |
| TheRealCrell | Network Manager is not in System Tray Settings at all. | 17:02 |
| soee | thers no checkbox to check ? | 17:02 |
| TheRealCrell | There is not. | 17:02 |
| sithlord48 | do you have a seperate widget for network management on your system ? check on Add widget | 17:02 |
| TheRealCrell | There appears to be one, but it's not adding to the plasma bar properly. I can put it on my desktop, though. | 17:03 |
| TheRealCrell | Very odd... Why is it not in systray? | 17:04 |
| sithlord48 | you should check to see if the package " plasma-widget-networkmanagement " is installed. have you done any updates lately ? | 17:04 |
| TheRealCrell | sithlord48: I updated from 13.04 to 13.10 earlier this week. | 17:05 |
| sithlord48 | TheRealCrell: do you have plasma-nm package installed? | 17:05 |
| TheRealCrell | That package shows as installed. | 17:05 |
| TheRealCrell | Both of them. | 17:05 |
| amundsen | hi | 17:05 |
| sithlord48 | no broken packages? | 17:05 |
| TheRealCrell | Not as far as I can tell. | 17:06 |
| amundsen | is there any way to add a "home" icon in the KDE desktop? | 17:06 |
| sithlord48 | TheRealCrell: try to update if you can . i think you may have broken package somewhere. | 17:06 |
| amundsen | i mean, i have a trash icon, and i'd like to add a home icon also | 17:06 |
| TheRealCrell | I did a routine update/upgrade 10 minutes ago. | 17:07 |
| sithlord48 | amundsen: if you are using the "folder" desktop then you only need to put a link to home in your ~/desktop folder | 17:07 |
| sithlord48 | TheRealCrell: and you just are not seeing the widget (i came in a bit late on the problem) | 17:07 |
| TheRealCrell | Correct. There's apparently a SEPARATE standalone plasma widget I've not used before, but nothing in systray. | 17:08 |
| TheRealCrell | Er, wait... WTF? | 17:08 |
| sithlord48 | do you know if its the old widget or the new plasma nm one? | 17:08 |
| TheRealCrell | bah. Bad me! | 17:08 |
| TheRealCrell | It was in a different list in the systray settings dialog than the one I was in a moment ago. | 17:08 |
| sithlord48 | lol nice | 17:09 |
| TheRealCrell | I was in Entries, nto Display. | 17:09 |
| TheRealCrell | Too many damned options.. | 17:09 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest39892 | ||
| TheRealCrell | Thanks, sithlord48 and soee. | 17:10 |
| sithlord48 | amundsen: if your using the default desktop then you will need to add a folder widget to display the contents . you can jus add a shortcut for dolphin since it always starts in ~/ anyway | 17:11 |
| sithlord48 | TheRealCrell: your welcome | 17:11 |
| soee | TheRealCrell: does it work ? | 17:11 |
| TheRealCrell | Yep. Once I found the right dialog window. :-) | 17:11 |
| amundsen | sithlord48: thx | 17:11 |
| TheRealCrell | Now to remember my VPN password... | 17:11 |

| sithlord48 | keithzg: does appear to be broken.. when you add new comics nothing shows up . | 20:17 |
| keithzg | sithlord48: So not just me then. Hmm. | 20:19 |
| sithlord48 | nope i tried when you asked. | 20:20 |
