[01:22] <ScottyK> greetings! when I attempt to boot into Kubuntu 13.10, I'll get the 13.10 splashscreen, then suddenly go to a "initramfs" prompt. typing "exit" gives me a kernel panic. Recovery mode also does the same thing. suggestions?
[07:19] <soee> good morning
[09:37] <calmsiva> can we use Jupiter in kubuntu - is it compatible
[09:37] <valorie> great!
[09:37] <calmsiva> i have been using this Jupiter (for power optimisation) in Ubuntu 10.04 & 12.10
[09:37] <valorie> you made it
[09:37] <calmsiva> >valorie THANKS
[09:38] <calmsiva> are you here too - seems omnipresence
[09:38] <valorie> can you tell me where you found this PPA?
[09:38] <valorie> yes, I'm in lots of channels for Kubuntu and KDE
[09:38] <valorie> sec, my dog needs me
[09:39] <calmsiva> google sir, it is explained in detail - how to install jupiter in Ubuntu
[09:39] <calmsiva> Been using Ubuntu from 9.04 onwards - found it top class
[09:40] <calmsiva> still crazy about Ubuntu - but just started on Kubuntu - this too looks topclass
[09:40] <valorie> ok back
[09:40] <calmsiva> never been able to personalise KDE till now  but now started it
[09:41] <valorie> I'm happy to hear that
[09:41] <valorie> I love KDE and Kub.
[09:41] <valorie> I think I started with 9.04 too, but maybe slightly before
[09:42] <valorie> anyway, to business
[09:42] <calmsiva> basically the idea is - everytime I open Kubuntu 12.10 - inspite of adjusting the power & display settings - it is going on 100% display which seems irritating to me while working.  Any good way to do this permanently
[09:43] <valorie> calmsiva: have you seen this? http://itsfoss.com/install-jupiter-ubuntu-1304/
[09:43] <calmsiva> not yet sir
[09:43]  * valorie is not a sir
[09:43] <calmsiva> basically the idea is - everytime I open Kubuntu 12.10 - inspite of adjusting the power & display settings - it is going on 100% display which seems irritating to me while working.  Any good way to do this permanently
[09:43] <valorie> please don't repeat yourself
[09:43] <calmsiva> it is a mark of showing respect to other - in India
[09:43] <valorie> we can read up
[09:44] <valorie> thank you for the respect, I just meant that I'm a woman, not a man
[09:45] <valorie> odd that your settings aren't being saved on exit
[09:45] <valorie> sec
[09:46] <calmsiva> Opps - sorry  Madam .... forgive me
[09:47] <calmsiva> had a good laugh with this goof-up
[09:48] <calmsiva> Thanks madam .... got to go.
[09:48] <claycorn> hello
[09:48] <claycorn> question
[09:48] <claycorn> i have
[09:50] <claycorn> i would like the task bar on the side to go to the bottom of the screen,im running unbuntu 13
[09:51] <claycorn> thanks in advance
[09:51] <valorie> in kubuntu, you just drag it where you want, I think
[09:51] <valorie> in unity, I have no clue
[09:51] <claycorn> oh
[09:52] <claycorn> what r u running ?
[09:53] <valorie> kubuntu
[09:53] <valorie> this is #kubuntu, after all
[09:54] <claycorn> hehe i wondered why i got kubuntu chat when im running ubuntu
[09:54] <valorie> oh, you're using quassel
[09:54] <valorie> it probably has this chan built in
[09:54] <claycorn> oki doki
[09:55] <valorie> in a new line, type /join #ubuntu
[09:55] <valorie> or just click that chan name
[09:55] <claycorn> /join#ubuntu
[09:55] <valorie> you are welcome here any time, but you won't find many unity experts
[09:55] <valorie> there has to be a space between the words
[09:56] <valorie> and the / has to be the first space in the line
[09:56] <claycorn> got it thanks
[09:56] <valorie> have fun!
[09:56] <claycorn> :3
[10:02] <claycorn> i have a netbook with kubuntu and its like they were ment for each other
[10:03] <claycorn> :3
[10:03] <claycorn> :E
[10:04] <valorie> my netbook and full lappy both love it
[10:05] <claycorn> i have a eepc asus
[10:07] <claycorn> what do u have ?
[10:10] <soee> is it possible to minimize thunderbird to tray ?
[12:24] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:36] <Walex> soee: it does not make sense to do so.
[12:37] <soee> Walex, ?
[12:37] <Walex> soee: Thunderbird is an application, not a tray widget
[12:37] <soee> so as IRC clients, Amarok etc
[12:37] <Walex> soee: so you can minimize it to the icon bar
[12:37] <soee> but they can be minimized to tray
[12:38] <Walex> soee: amaroK and others are *both* applications and have a tray widget inside.
[12:38] <Walex> BTW in KDE the "icon bar" is called "task manager".
[12:40] <soee> ee no ?
[12:41] <Quintasan> alaa: Back to the question
[12:41] <Quintasan> open up konsole
[12:41] <Quintasan> type k3b and press enter
[12:41] <soee> task manager is not the same as system tray
[12:41] <Quintasan> paste the output to paste.kde.org and paste the link here
[12:42] <Walex> soee: yes, task manager is for full applications, system tray is for tray widgets (or apps that contain a tray widget)
[12:43] <haroldbethwelsh_> anyone here know how I can get a network connection in kubuntu?
[12:43] <alaa> ok
[12:43] <Walex> haroldbethwelsh_: what does that mean?
[12:44] <soee> Quintasan, http://pastebin.com/fS0gJnXf
[12:44] <BluesKaj> thunderbird has an extension/addon called firetray which minmimizes to the sys tray
[12:44] <haroldbethwelsh_> I tried to install kubuntu but it wants an internet connection and it tells me i do not have one. I had this problem befor with other distros
[12:44] <soee> Quintasan, 13.10 KDE 4.12 RC
[12:44] <haroldbethwelsh_> my computer connects directly to a router and usually do not have any issues
[12:44] <alaa> http://goo.gl/ir1trD
[12:44] <soee> Quintasan, ah i thought it was general question :D sorry
[12:46] <soee> BluesKaj, thank you, works fine, though its missing monochrome icon
[12:47] <Quintasan> alaa: you're trying to run k3b or k3d, since those two are different
[12:47] <alaa> quintasan: here it is http://pastebin.kde.org/pxjbm5jyb
[12:47] <Quintasan> and I'm rather sure this is a problem with k3d being buggy
[12:47] <alaa> no k3d
[12:47] <alaa> I get the same error when trying to run blender as well
[12:47] <alaa> and I need to use one of them
[12:48] <BluesKaj> soee, set it up in sys tray > settings
[12:48] <Quintasan> alaa: This is a problem with X <-> drivers I think
[12:48] <alaa> what is that? how can I fix it
[12:48] <Quintasan> alaa: No idea, I'm not really an expert on X
[12:48] <alaa> ok, thanks
[12:48] <BluesKaj> soee, sys tray settings >entries
[12:49] <alaa> http://pastebin.kde.org/pnk0mfvkw
[12:49] <soee> BluesKaj, yes just have to find one
[12:49] <Quintasan> alaa: You might want to ask around at #blender if anyone had such a problem
[12:50] <alaa> ok, I will try thanks
[12:50] <BluesKaj> soee, if the addon is installed it should show the icon options in the entries
[12:51] <soee> BluesKaj, i have icon option, i just have to find monochrome one :)
[12:51] <BluesKaj> oh .ok
[15:24] <vedu> Hello. I am having a issue with the network manager. It doesn't connected to saved wifi networks
[16:28] <ronnoc> Uhggg... examples like this are why KWallet should be disabled by default on install :/ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2193354&p=12872145#post12872145
[16:28] <ronnoc> It's never a good 'new user' experience

[17:04] <wentknweqt> hey guys, my lightdm isn't the default at startup anymore. also, i have no idea how to configure my login screen. anyone know what's going on? the settings from "System Settings" have no effect
[17:08] <rberg> wentknweqt: from the command line do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' and it will ask you what to use as the default dm
[17:08] <wentknweqt> rberg, thank you
[17:09] <rberg> npo
[17:09] <rberg> np
[17:09] <wentknweqt> command line as in X terminal emulator or do i need to go to one of the virtual terminals?
[17:10] <rberg> terminal emulator should be fine
[17:10] <wentknweqt> i ran it and it returned with no output
[17:11] <rberg> did you include the '' ?
[17:12] <wentknweqt> nope
[17:12] <rberg> is light dm installed?  dpkg -l lightdm
[17:12] <wentknweqt> also, none of my changes to the screen locker from "Display And Monitor" icon in System Settings have any effect
[17:13] <wentknweqt> ii  lightdm              1.8.2-0ubuntu1  amd64           Display Manager
[17:13] <wentknweqt> http://pastebin.kde.org/pi0jt7jln
[17:14] <rberg> hmm I dont know what the errors on line 3-4 mean..
[17:15] <wentknweqt> doing "service lightdm stop" fails to stop it
[17:15] <wentknweqt> doing "service lightdm start" fails to start it
[17:15] <wentknweqt> lol
[17:16] <rberg> does a 'apt-get -f install' do anything ?
[17:16] <wentknweqt> 1 package about libgsoap
[17:16] <wentknweqt> it's slated for removal
[17:18] <wentknweqt> also, i get "kdmflush" in results from "ps aux | grep dm"
[17:18] <wentknweqt> but doing "service kdm stop" says "unknown instance"
[17:22] <wentknweqt> brb
[17:59] <apb1963> I've got artifacts...  nothing I do will remove them
[17:59] <apb1963> kubuntu 12.04.3
[18:00] <apb1963> I can't even logout
[18:00] <apb1963> My only option is to reboot
[18:01] <apb1963> If I lock the screen, it covers the artifacts... nothing else will cover them.  But upon unlocking the screen, the artifacts are still there.
[18:01] <apb1963> I tried changing the wallpaper and other associated details in that area..... didn't make a difference.
[18:11] <soee> maybe some gfx issue
[18:14] <BluesKaj_> apb1963, what kind of artifacts. widgets or ?
[18:25] <BluesKaj_> BBL. stuff to do.
[18:38] <apb1963> BluesKaj_: I notice the above guy mention service kdm stop.... so I did that... and that fixed it.  I don't know what kind of artifacts.... I have a screenprint if you'd like to see it.  They're what I'd term "dialogs" I guess.
[19:04] <vbgunz_> 12.04 was the long term release?
[19:22] <soee> vbgunz_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[19:23] <vbgunz_> soee, thanks, been thinking of downgrading, I thought I'd ask
[19:23] <soee> what are you using now ?
[20:54] <pdobrogost> Hi! How can I place shortcut to shell script on desktop?
[20:56] <FlowRiser> pdobrogost, search about .desktop files
[22:00] <willwork4foo> Hi all. I know this has probably been answered, but I'm not getting any joy from my google searches. Does anyone know how to fix Kmail so it properly displays an email signature from an HTML file?
[22:16] <rberg> willwork4foo: is the problem that kmail wont reach out for external resources be default?
[22:17] <rberg> my coworkers insist on html mail and I see their sigs
[22:19] <willwork4foo> berg: no, the problem is that I've attached my sig.html (that works fine in Thunderbird) and it just displays raw HTML
[22:19] <willwork4foo> when I create a new message
[22:19] <willwork4foo> I'd really much rather use Kmail than Thunderbird, it's a far nicer client
[22:20] <willwork4foo> How do I tell Kmail to create new emails as HTML by default?
[22:21] <rberg> looks like there is an option in kmail settings / identity / signature / use html
[22:22] <rberg> I agree I dont care for thunderbird.. if not kmail I use mutt
[22:23] <willwork4foo> berg - I'm not seeing that
[22:23] <rberg> sometimes I have kmail freak out then akonadi / mysql pegs all cpu.. that makes my laptop feel like its going to start a fire
[22:23] <willwork4foo> kmail settings / identity / signature / use html   - ??
[22:24] <rberg> maybe because I am using 4.11.3 from the ppa
[22:24] <willwork4foo> I'm using from Ubuntu's repo
[22:25] <willwork4foo> So - I've found the "Use HTML" option, but that only relates to if you're going to use the text field to create your signature.
[22:26] <willwork4foo> this is really poor.
[22:28] <rberg> yes... mutts motto "All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less."
[22:31] <willwork4foo> ah well. I give up.
[22:32] <rberg> can you copy your html into that text window?
[22:32] <rberg> I know its jumping through hoops
