[03:40] <Phoenixz> I installed Kubuntu on a USB stick, all was fine, I rebooted various time w/o problems, but then I did a hard reset (reset button while kubuntu was running) and now the USB stick won;t boot anymore.. Anybdy knows what the problem with this might be??
[07:45] <lordievader> Good morning.
[08:39] <hackndoes__> Hi to all.  so I am having an issue. I try to install the nvidia propriatary driver from jockey-kde but it fails. well it seems to succeed but after restart nouveau is loaded and not nvidia
[08:40] <hackndoes__> and jockey-kde say it's acivated but not currently in use :(
[08:40] <hackndoes__> what can I do to fix it?
[08:40] <hackndoes__> P.S
[08:40] <hackndoes__> installing the official nvidia driver from the nvidia site did load the script but I want the one from the repositories
[08:41] <valorie> from jockey can you right-click it or anything?
[08:43] <hackndoes__> valorie: checking
[08:43] <hackndoes__> valorie: no right click there
[08:43] <valorie> :(
[08:43] <valorie> you need an expert, and I am not one
[08:44] <hackndoes__> should it have? it seems like a choice select like not a context element
[08:44] <valorie> it's been years since I had to mess with drivers
[08:44] <valorie> dunno, it's been a long time since I even started up jockey
[08:44] <hackndoes__> valorie: hee hee well I don't konw what started it///
[08:45] <valorie> I wonder if removing nouveau would work?
[08:46] <hackndoes__> well I blacklisted it and it "helped"
[08:46] <hackndoes__> my nvidia configuration was all messed up bad resolution and stuff and couldn't find the nvidia-xconfig utility
[08:46] <valorie> help in what way?
[08:47] <hackndoes__> I wrote a sentence after :)
[08:47] <hackndoes__> not eally helped rather a little bit but I have an idea of what I want to check I will be back to report soon :)
[09:07] <hary> hi
[09:08] <lordievader> Hey hary
[09:11] <hackndoes_> valorie: hi there again
[09:11] <valorie> any luck?
[09:11] <hackndoes_> it for some reason just got OK :) i un installed all drivers
[09:11] <valorie> NICE
[09:11] <hackndoes_> (nvidia that is)
[09:11] <valorie> cool
[09:12] <hackndoes_> rebooted. than I blacklisted the novueau driver and installed nvidia at the same time, than after reboot it was OK.
[09:12] <hackndoes_> the weird thing is Ii did that two times before and it didn't help/// anyway at list it's OK now
[09:12] <valorie> I'm glad to hear of your success
[09:12]  * valorie goes off to read a book

[11:49] <paolinux> ciao a tutti
[11:50] <paolinux> con kubuntu 13.10 ho un piccolo problemino con il plasmoide cestino
[11:51] <paolinux> se clicco sul plasmoide per aprire il contenuto del cestino mi si apre dolphin sulla home
[11:59] <soee> !it
[12:01] <soee> !en
[12:02] <soee> kubottu is gone ?
[12:03] <lordievader> soee: Kubottu is in #kubuntu-devel
[12:04] <soee> lordievader: oh ok :)
[12:49] <BluesKaj> hiyas all
[13:58] <dougl> morning guys and gals... yesterday I just worked on my desktop for the first time in months - my 12.10 installs fonts are all ugly and barely readable... what should I google for?
[14:07] <mank319> does anyone know how the whole "MIR" issue will be handled for those who use kde as Desktop Environment and have kubuntu ppas in their sources list, but initially did not download "kubuntu", but e.g. (in my case) ubuntu minimal installer
[14:09] <mank319> because I personally do not want to use MIR as x-replacement
[14:10] <BluesKaj> mank319, kubuntu isxn't using mir , ubuntu is .
[14:10] <mank319> yeah i know
[14:10] <mank319> but as i explained, initially I did not install kubuntu
[14:10] <BluesKaj> thgen what are you asking?
[14:11] <mank319> but ubuntu, because I wanted a minimal install
[14:11] <mank319> but used KDE as desktop environment
[14:11] <mank319> and also have the kubuntu-ppas
[14:11] <BluesKaj> didn't see your explanation , just joined
[14:11] <mank319> so practically I am using a "minimalized kubuntu"
[14:11] <mank319> and I was just wondering to which "update policy" my system would apply then
[14:12] <BluesKaj> \if anythuing wayland might be in kubuntu's future , but that's not certain yet
[14:12] <mank319> I was hoping to hear something like: "It's dependant on the kubuntu ppa" or sth, because then I would just go the normal kubuntu road
[14:12] <mank319> yeah if at all
[14:12] <mank319> i just clearly dont want to get forced to use MIR :D
[14:12] <BluesKaj> none of us do , afaik
[14:12] <mank319> hehe yeah
[14:13] <mank319> well I guess I will just have to wait how special cases like mine will be treated and, in the worst case, tweak something myself, after the upgrade
[14:13] <mank319> thanks anyways folks :-) going to get myself a coffe. if anyone has further information about the topic, I will stay in the channel and read it later ;-)
[14:14] <dougl> somehow my fonts got all tiny and ugly on my 12.10 install - what should I be googling for to fix this?
[14:16] <BluesKaj> dougl, did you check in appearance in sys settings to see if the font settings have changed
[14:16] <lordievader> dougl: Is the font DPI set to 96?
[14:17] <dougl> sec guys will go to that desktop with my notebook
[14:24] <dougl> BluesKaj, I have one font that says ubuntu mono 12 and I want it to say ubuntu 12 but don't have thaT option and changing to 96 dpi has no effect lordievader ... rebooting to see if that does anything
[14:25] <BluesKaj> that's odd do
[14:25] <BluesKaj> dougl,^
[14:26] <dougl> yes
[14:26] <lordievader> dougl: What is your display resolution?
[14:26] <dougl> 1920x1080
[14:27] <dougl> nvidia propietary
[14:27] <BluesKaj> dougl, you can change the dpi manually as well , i have minbe at 100 dpi on this laptop due to 96 being too small and 120  much too large
[14:28] <dougl> BluesKaj, checking
[14:32] <dougl> the fixed width font will not change but all the others change and 100 works great... ???
[14:34] <BluesKaj> my res is 1366x768 so on yours it won't make as much difference, dougl
[14:34] <BluesKaj> but on the plasma tv 120 is what I use at1920x1080
[14:35] <BluesKaj> on nvidia 8400gs
[14:37] <dougl> BluesKaj, adjusted the font size too...but was a huge different after rebooting but the "fixed width" font in my settings panel won't change from ubuntu mono to ubuntu... is there a config file that go chmod'd to read only or what - experimenting... comments welcome and appreciated
[14:39] <BluesKaj> dougl, dunno .... lordievader??
[14:39] <dougl> BluesKaj, I have a 62" that clones 24" I think I will make it so it looks good there...
[14:40] <lordievader> dougl: Probably somewhere in ~/.kde, but where exactly no idea. Grep around?
[14:41] <BluesKaj> well my old pc is a media server mostly now for the audio system and the tv...i'm using the laptoip more and more for computing and internet
[14:43] <BluesKaj> or the "font management" in system settings dougl
[14:43] <dougl> hmm... BluesKaj me too that is why I have not b een in the man cave for months... notebook in the kitchen and vnc or ssh to the desktops... never even noticed these font issues as it was alway ssh...
[14:43] <dougl> font management...
[14:43] <dougl> k
[14:48] <dougl> what would happen if I renamed .kde to kde.bak?
[14:50] <lordievader> dougl: Then you loose all your kde settings.
[15:07] <dougl> BluesKaj, lordievader all fixed up now - looks a bit big on the 24" monitor and awesome on the 62" TV... thanks alot guys - I appreciate the support and help...
[15:08]  * dougl builds a shrine for BluesKaj and lordievader. 
[15:08]  * monkeyjuice wonders how BluesKaj's uefi install went?
[15:12] <BluesKaj> monkeyjuice, i got it installed , after finding out the try/install kubuntu page required the down arrow key brings up that page , then used acpi-off and nomodeset, with the UEFI set to legacy...all inmstalled nd running well now .
[15:13] <BluesKaj> still not used to this lappy KB
[15:13] <monkeyjuice> wonderful, you should write that all down for us :)
[15:13] <BluesKaj> i just did :)
[15:14] <monkeyjuice> ya i guess you did ;)
[15:14] <monkeyjuice> that was 13.10?
[15:14] <BluesKaj> 14.04
[15:14] <monkeyjuice> ahok
[15:19] <BluesKaj> monkeyjuice, looking in the forums i discovered that a lot od laptops different
[15:20] <BluesKaj> diferent mfgs use differnt keys etc to ge into the UEFI/BIOS and then the settings there use different terms as well or the same actions , it's getting messy to say the least
[15:21] <BluesKaj> or=for
[15:24] <BluesKaj> mydogsnameisrudy, there needs to be a convention and linux standard set up around the terms used for UEFI access and settings
[15:34] <monkeyjuice> would be nice , i guess there needs to be more testing on it , then a good web/forum help setup

[16:36] <FlameReaper> Does Bluetooth tethering to phones still work in 13.10?
[17:52] <jalcine> FlameReaper: works for me and with pulseaudio-bluetooth I even get the audio from my phone on my laptop
[18:25] <AshishL> i need help in connecting Kubuntu to the internet ( i am running Kubuntu in  Virtual Machine player in windows 7 64 bit)
[18:57] <sveri> hi, how can i change the active soundcard that is used by open applications?
[19:34] <Saturn`> lots of quassel users in here, i see
[19:41] <AshishL> the command : sudo apt-get install git when typed shows  Unable To Load Package Git . please help :
[19:42] <lordievader> AshishL: Could you pastebin the full output please.
[19:45] <AshishL> loedievader : http://pastebin.kde.org/pvuipg6de
[19:45] <AshishL> lordievader : http://pastebin.kde.org/pvuipg6de
[19:47] <lordievader> !info git
[19:48] <AshishL> lordievader : but here it isnt installed :(
[19:49] <lordievader> AshishL: Can you find git with "apt-cache search git"?
[19:52] <AshishL> lordievader :http://www.pastebin.com/VY3zhBLZ
[19:54] <lordievader> AshishL: May I see your /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[19:54] <AshishL> lordievader : how do i provide it ?
[19:55] <lordievader> AshishL: If you have pastebinit installed: cat /etc/apt/sources.list|pastebinit
[19:56] <AshishL> lordievader : i dont have pastbinit installed
[19:57] <lordievader> AshishL: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit"
[19:58] <AshishL> lordievader : same result as : http://pastebin.kde.org/pvuipg6de : says unable to locate package
[19:59] <lordievader> AshishL: Have you disabled the main repo?
[19:59] <lordievader> AshishL: Btw you can also open it with kate and copy it from there: kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:01] <AshishL> lordievader : i do not know . how to check if ive disabled it .(most probably its that only )
[20:01] <lordievader> AshishL: That is why I want to see your sources.list ;)
[20:02] <AshishL> lordievader : kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list output is  sudo:
[20:03] <lordievader> AshishL: From the kate window you copy the contents onto pastebin.
[20:07] <AshishL> lordievader : kate inst opening :(
[20:08] <lordievader> AshishL: Did you get the window asking for your password?
[20:08] <AshishL> lordievader : no
[20:09] <lordievader> You did use kdesudo right? What version of Kubuntu are you running?
[20:10] <AshishL> lordievader : raring ringtail 13.04
[20:12] <lordievader> AshishL: Hmm. That should actually work, but first lets fix the sources problem you could use "less" to read the sources file and copy it bit for bit. It is probably too large to display in one window.
[20:13] <AshishL> lordievader : ok :)
[20:15] <AshishL> lordievader : i searched the internet and found that my main repo was turned off so do i need to use  : Go to System>Administration>Software Sources and click the check box on universe.
[20:16] <lordievader> universe != main
[20:17] <lordievader> AshishL: And System >Administation>Sofware Sources sounds like Ubuntu...
[20:20] <AshishL> lordievader sorry >> : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[20:22] <AshishL> lordievader :  can you tell me how to enable universal repository in Kubuntu ?
[20:23] <lordievader> AshishL: On the first tab of Software Sources are all of them ticked (except perhaps the source one)?
[20:24] <AshishL> lordievader :  in the system settings tab , theres no Software Sources Icon !!
[20:25] <lordievader> AshishL: Open the Muon Package Manager
[20:26] <lordievader> AshishL: Then Settings -> Software Sources <- That was what I was talking about.
[20:27] <AshishL> lordievader : all boxes are ticked even source 1
[20:28] <lordievader> AshishL: Ok, that should be good. Be sure to run "sudo apt-get update" before trying to install stuff.
[20:29] <AshishL> lordievader : its installing many things (a good sign ?? :) )
[20:30] <lordievader> AshishL: Installing? apt-get update doesn't install stuff..
[20:30] <AshishL> lordievader :  sorry - updating :P
[20:32] <AshishL> lordievader :  after this update am i ready to install git ?
[20:33] <lordievader> AshishL: You should be yes.
[20:35] <AshishL> lordievader : thanks . its working . finally ! feeling wonderful :D
[20:35] <lordievader> AshishL: It is probably also a good idea to run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" at this time.
[20:38] <AshishL> lordievader :  anymore commands ?
[20:39] <lordievader> AshishL: See if "kdesudo kate" is working after the dist-upgrade.
