[00:49] <James0r> i get this 'no protocol specific' when trying to run a gui text editor from the terminal as sudo. i'm seeing that it's something about sudo connecting to the x server but i can't seem to workaround this other than starting a new bash
[00:49] <kaddi> try using kdesudo instead of sudo
[00:51] <James0r> kaddi: k thanks. i closed my problematic bash already but i'll try next time. is kdesudo always preferred in KDE?
[00:53] <kaddi> we have a factoid for this but I don't know the trigger.. basically it's alwayss prefered for gui applications. in gnome you have gksudo (i think)
[00:54] <James0r> right right. i found a graphical sudo explanation on the ubuntu forums.
[00:54] <kaddi> it can mess up your permissions
[00:54] <kaddi> there's a really nice link i can't find
[00:54] <kaddi> lol
[00:54] <kaddi> !kdesudo
[00:54] <kaddi> ah well.. it pays of to just try :p
[00:55] <kaddi> (guess that's the link you found though, no? It's quite high in the google hits)
[01:00] <James0r> kaddi: same idea but i like your link better. it's got screen caps
[01:00] <James0r> heh
[01:00] <kaddi> :)
[01:00] <James0r> i find that they encourage my feeble mind to continue on reading sometimes
[01:12] <william> hey
[01:23] <shuvarek> hey, just checking as I do not use kubuntu for myself
[01:24] <kaddi> hi
[01:24] <shuvarek> is kde4 better than 3?
[01:25] <kaddi> i would say so, yes
[01:25] <kaddi> not sure if kde3 is even still supported
[01:25] <kaddi> !kde3
[01:25] <shuvarek> After the changes I went to gnome and now to xfce
[01:25] <kaddi> yeah, first couple of versions were quite hard to live with
[01:25] <kaddi> but now it's gotten really nice and stable
[01:26] <kaddi> what was the last version you tried? Do you remember?
[01:26] <shuvarek> okay, but how much memory it use and what about small netbooks?
[01:26] <kaddi> that I don't know
[01:26] <shuvarek> KDE3 was perfect for me
[01:26] <kaddi> memory, i would guess about 600-700MB from the looks of my laptop
[01:27] <kaddi> small netbooks, I can't tell
[01:27] <kaddi> you could try a live-cd
[01:27] <shuvarek> I had very nice set-up system,
[01:27] <jtal604622> I am still trying to figure out nepomuk,  seems to not being really good at indexing all my files :-( , other than that i really like Kubuntu 13.10
[01:27] <shuvarek> that wold be most of my memory, and what about other programms
[01:28] <shuvarek> jtal604622: is it possible to uninstal nepomuk?
[01:28] <kaddi> you could probably trim down ram usage... i have 4GB so i never tried
[01:28] <shuvarek> The biggest problem for me would be the speed with small memory like 1G
[01:29] <jtal604622> i dont know maybe...i really like nepomuk just seems to not do such a great job in kub 13.10 versus mint
[01:29] <kaddi> shuvarek: with 1gb i would probably look at other optionst
[01:29] <kaddi> -t
[01:30] <shuvarek> I think for netbooks still the best are xfce and lxde, I havent try yet trinity, mate, e17/18 or razor
[01:30] <jtal604622> linux mate is realy good
[01:30] <kaddi> with firefox and konversation i'm now using 1.4GB of RAM
[01:31] <kaddi> 800 is from firefox
[01:31] <kaddi> if you turn of effects and all you could prolly get it downt o 400 or so.. still not comparable to something like lubuntu
[01:32] <shuvarek> lubuntu is too primitive for me, thou I used it today when my xfce crashed
[01:33] <shuvarek> even seting keyboard has to be done from console
[01:33] <kaddi> ok
[01:33] <kaddi> i'm gonna go to sleep now.. but good luck with your search :)
[01:34] <kaddi> kde is nice but it's definitely not optimized for low specs
[01:34] <shuvarek> I think I would like to try trinity as the KDE3 was the desktop I most used the old days and found it good
[01:35] <shuvarek> I had very well set-up computer this days, especially to learn English - I think it was KDEMouth or some other synthetiser works even reading PDF
[01:36] <shuvarek> I have never try to do it with gnome, to much hassle probably
[03:22] <oohal> hello, is there anyway to stop X from starting when booting from a livecd/flash drive
[03:23] <oohal> i already tried adding text as a paramater in grub, but it starts anyway

[06:55] <vadrao> Hi all, I am trying to write a script which when run from the command line opens a terminal window, changes focus to it and runs subsequent commands in the newly opened window.
[06:56] <vadrao> Can any one let me know an elegant way of doing this
[08:34] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:12] <gwinn> hi all
[10:17] <gsedej_work> hi!
[10:17] <gsedej_work> I am having issue with some GTK applications - the selection is white (text not visible)
[10:18] <gsedej_work> this goes for gedit and bluefish
[10:18] <gsedej_work> xchat is ok
[10:19] <gsedej_work> when I select text in gedit, selection is totally white
[10:19] <gsedej_work> while gedit UI integration with oxygen looks normal
[10:20] <gsedej_work> I have selected oxygen-gtk in "GTK+ appearance"
[10:20] <gsedej_work> any idea?
[10:20] <oohal> have you tried turning it off and then on again?
[10:21] <gsedej_work> yes, i have this issue for long
[10:22] <gsedej_work> also gedit is not affected by "GTK+ Appearance" theme
[10:22] <gsedej_work> it's always same
[10:22] <gsedej_work> even if I change to "high contrast"
[10:22] <soee> good morning
[10:22] <gsedej_work> it still looks like other KDE apps
[10:26] <gsedej_work> here is gedit output in terminal
[10:26] <gsedej_work> http://pastebin.com/jC448M9B
[10:29] <gsedej_work> does anyone know "gtk-theme-switch2"?
[12:36] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all

[14:27] <gonssal> Hi all. I have an external USB drive (ext4) that shows in fdisk and in Preferences > Removable storage. There I enable the automounting of removable storage and specifically tell KDE to mount the external USB hard drive, but it doesn't get mounted and it doesn't appear in the places sidebar (nor in Dolphin nor in Konqueror)
[14:28] <gonssal> The device was working flawlessly in 13.04, now I can't use it
[14:28] <gonssal> after updating to 13.10
[14:29] <gonssal> any ideas on what might be the problem?
[14:30] <gonssal> oh and it happens in two different computes
[14:32] <alvin> gonssal: Can you mount by hand?
[14:33] <alvin> If I do service lightdm restart , or if I just boot Kubuntu, the screen (both monitors) are white with a mouse cursor. I can do the mouse, but there's nothing else visible. I cant' log in. Any ideas?
[14:33] <gonssal> alvin apparently it gets automatically mounted to /media/usb0 by the system
[14:34] <gonssal> but KDE can't recognize that
[14:34] <alvin> I thought nowadays, that was /media/gonssal/usb0
[14:34] <alvin> Can you read the contents?
[14:35] <gonssal> yes
[14:35] <gonssal> just retarded
[14:38] <gonssal> when i plug the HD it gets mounted in /media/usb0 and the places sidebar doesn't recognize it
[14:39] <gonssal> nothing i can do
[14:39] <gonssal> HDD*
[14:46] <alvin> gonssal: You've tried right-clicking the sidebar and ticking "show all entries"?
[14:47] <gonssal> there's no such option
[14:49] <gonssal> nah back to unity, thx anyways alvin
[14:52] <alvin> Did you by any chance started with Ubuntu and installed kubuntu-desktop over it?
[14:52] <alvin> That could explain the automounting I suppose.
[15:16] <wmp> hello, i looking for colud hard drive working on kubuntu. I have dropbox but i want to use other, ubuntuone dont works on kubuntu good, abyone can halp me? I need to easy share files and copy public links
[15:21] <Walex> wmp: it is very surprising that ubuntuone would not work. Kubuntu is just Ubuntu with a slightly different set of GUI packages.
[15:21] <wmp> Walex: ubuntuone dont works with kwallet
[15:22] <Walex> wmp: ahhhh that's a different story. But you can still use seahorse etc.
[15:22] <wmp> seahorse ?
[15:23] <Walex> wmp: or whatever else works. When you run KDE you can use any other "wallet" style things you care to use, even if they are from GNOME
[15:24] <Walex> wmp: well, I was being a bit loose. Seahorse is the GNOME equivalent to Kleopatra more than to KWallet, but the idea is the same.
[15:25] <Walex> wmp: but I just did a little search and first link is this: http://www.thepowerbase.com/2012/05/ubuntu-one-for-kde-has-arrived/
[15:26] <Walex> wmp: http://askubuntu.com/questions/82896/how-could-i-install-ubuntu-one-on-kde-and-use-it-with-dolphin
[15:27] <wmp> Walex: but this dont resolve problem with kwallet
[15:28] <Walex> wmp: most likely you can use Kleopatra or Seahorse instead
[15:31] <Walex> wmp: I just had a look at the U1 site and it says it needs a keyring. KWallet does not do keyrings, it does user/password stuff. Seahorse or Kleopatra handle keyrings.
[15:31] <wmp> no, i need kwallet ;) Is other cloud service what is support on kubuntu?
[15:32] <nasond> Oh hey

[15:39] <Chardot> Hello. I'm having problems when updating or installing new software from Muon. After it downloads and installs the package it shows this error: http://s28.postimg.org/bkyorfmjx/error.png
[15:40] <Chardot> It actually installs the package and applications work normally, but that error seems no good.
[15:43] <Chardot> This is a fresh install runniung on my Macbook Pro; I installed it on my external hard drive (installed Grub on the same partition)
[15:45] <Chardot> But I also installed rEFInd on my Mac but it shows 2 Kubuntu entries (one using Grub and another one using Shim) and two more Ubuntu entries (one with Grub and one with Shim). The thing is: I never installed Ubuntu, so I don't know why am I getting that
[15:45] <Chardot> Somehow, it might be related to this error (it talks about Grub and Shim)
[15:50] <shadeslayer> Chardot: you can purge grub-efi if you're using refind
[15:50] <shadeslayer> that
[15:50] <shadeslayer> that's what I do
[15:51] <Chardot> shadeslayer: do you have it installed on a Mac too?
[15:51] <shadeslayer> yes
[15:51] <Chardot> great
[15:51] <Chardot> so whats the deal with Shim?
[15:52] <shadeslayer> I have no clue, I just use refind
[15:52] <shadeslayer> I am also uncertain why muon-discover tries to upgrade grub when installing vlc
[15:52] <Chardot> Hmm, I'm gonna try that
[15:57] <Chardot> Ok, done. Rebooting...
[16:07] <jtal604622> anyone has issues with nepomuk?  Seems to not doing a very good job indexing, known file names in home do not return when searched for...new install some works and some dont
[16:12] <jtal604622> morning - anyone has issues with nepomuk?  Seems to not doing a very good job indexing, known file names in home do not return when searched for...new install some works and some dont
[17:09] <Namachieli__> anyone else get rediculous video lag after about 1 day following a restart?
[17:09] <Namachieli__> 2 week old install and this is irritating me.
[17:10] <BluesKaj> Namachieli__, have you upgraded your video drivers if available ?
[17:11] <Namachieli__> I'll give it a try
[17:12] <BluesKaj> also if you don't need to use index search in system setting (nepomuk) and akonadi server for kmail etc ,  Namachieli__
[17:13] <Namachieli__> k, i have index disabled. as well as every desktop effect i can find.
[17:14] <Namachieli__> oh wow. "sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current"
[17:14] <Namachieli__> "not installed'
[17:14] <Namachieli__> haha
[17:14] <Namachieli__> whoops
[17:14] <FloodBotK1> Namachieli__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:17] <BluesKaj> then install nvidia-current if available
[17:21] <Namachieli__> Yea, thats what my whoops was for. Thought I had done that already.
[17:22] <BluesKaj> Namachieli__, the nouveau driver is usually adequate and one shouldn't have video lag with that driver on nvidia gpus
[17:23] <BluesKaj> dunno if upgrading to nvidia-current will make any difference
[17:27] <dougl> video lag = tearing?
[17:27] <Namachieli__> no, just sever input and rendering lag
[17:27] <Namachieli__> but once rendering is finished, if i stay inside of an app, its fine
[17:27] <jarkko> i have weird issues on kubuntu
[17:28] <jarkko> sometimes full screen on youtube works and sometimes not
[17:28] <Namachieli__> First time trying kubuntu. usually go stock.
[17:28] <jarkko> same with vlc
[17:29] <BluesKaj> jarkko, got any examples ?
[17:30] <jarkko> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypEDEoeYV2M

[20:28] <pdobrogost> Hi! I have problems using openvpn. I can connect on command line but can't after importing settigns from .ovpn file. Anybody?
[20:31] <dougl> BluesKaj, I was hoping you'd see my plea... yes tried connecting directly and it works with digikam and downloads photos but phone never "trusts computer" I have no way to itunes or anything from this notebook...
[20:31] <dougl> other than VM's
[20:31] <dougl> on virtual box
[20:32] <dougl> I am not obsessing over it or anything I just thot I'd like to bounce it off the channel...
[20:33] <BluesKaj> dougl, have you tried amarok for iphone tunes?
[20:34] <dougl> BluesKaj, no... does that work?
[20:34] <BluesKaj> dougl, not sure , it used to afaik
[20:35]  * dougl is dinking around with amarok
[20:37] <BluesKaj> pdobrogost, install network-manager-openvpn
[20:38] <pdobrogost> BluesKaj: done

[20:46] <pdobrogost> BluesKaj: In case you wrote something I got disconnected from irc after I switched vpn on...
[20:47] <pdobrogost> It's odd - there were no problems with this config on Windows. Any idea why vpn might grab all traffic?
[21:19] <jarkko> does someone remember that i had issue with flash and vlc i found the reason
[21:19] <jarkko> you have to set on ati drivers that gpu does the scaling
